This customized Bing search query scopes your search on TechNet so that you see results from the documentation library for System Center 2012 only. The search query uses the placeholder search text System Center 2012, which you can replace in the search bar with your own search string or strings, and choice of search operators, to help you narrow the search results.

Example Searches

Use the Find information online link and customize the search by using the following examples:

  • Single search string: To search for topics that contain the search string Operations Manager, replace System%20Center%202012%20Technical%20Documentation with Operations%20Manager:

    http://www.bing.com/search?q=("Operations%20Manager")%20site:technet.microsoft.com/library%20meta:search.MSCategory(hh546793)
    
  • Combining search strings: To search for topics that contain the search strings Operations Manager and Agent, use the AND operator:

    http://www.bing.com/search?q=("Operations%20Manager"%20AND%20"Agent")%20site:technet.microsoft.com/library%20meta:search.MSCategory(hh546793)
    
  • Alternative search strings: To search for topics that contain the search string Opearations Manager or Agent, use the OR operator:

    http://www.bing.com/search?q=("Operations%20Manager"%20OR%20"Agent")%20site:technet.microsoft.com/library%20meta:search.MSCategory(hh546793)
    
  • Exclude search strings: To search for topics that contain the search string Operations Manager and exclude topics about Agent, use the NOT operator:

    http://www.bing.com/search?q=("Operations%20Manager"%20NOT%20"Agent")%20site:technet.microsoft.com/library%20meta:search.MSCategory(hh546793)
    

Search Tips

Use the following search tips to help find the information that you need:

  • When you search on a page in TechNet (for example, press Ctrl-F1, and then enter search terms in the Find box), the results exclude text that is in collapsed sections. To search for text in collapsed sections, expand the sections before you search on the page.

  • Whenever possible, use the TechNet Library online, rather than downloaded documentation. TechNet contains the most up-to-date information, and the information that you are searching for might not be in the downloaded documentation or there might be corrections of additional information online
