ShopKey5.com
features a robust search capability that takes you right
to the information you are looking for. Just type a
word or phrase in the Search field, and pick from the
articles that mention the word or phrase in a heading.
To initiate a word or phrase
search:
1. After selecting a Vehicle and Estimator or Maintenance Module,
type a word or phrase in the Search box and click on
the Search button.
2. The word search returns a listing
of Estimator/Maintenance information with an exact match of the search text in
a heading or part or labor description.
3. Select the Category/Subcategory.
You are taken to the part or labor description which includes the search text.
Logical Operators
In addition to searching all article
text search ShopKey5 also supports the use of logical operators.
This means that you can craft more complicated searches
to either increase, or narrow down, the "hits"
to your search criteria. The most important operators
are "and" and "or". Examples of
each are shown below.
The "And" Operator
 Let's
say for example, you want to find all the articles that
mention the words brakes and fluids. A search on "brakes
fluid" will not likely result in success as the
two words will not likely appear as an exact phrase
anywhere in the article text. You can remedy this situation
using the "and" operator in your search. Just
type "Brakes and Fluids" into the search box
and you will get a listing of all articles containing
both terms.
The "Or" Operator
 Let's
say for example, you want to find all the articles that
mention the word "brakes" or the word "fluids".
You could construct a Search using the logical operator
"or." Just type "brakes or fluids"
in the Search field to get a listing of articles containing
either term.
Wildcards
The use of wildcards allows you to
conduct a search when you are unsure of the exact spelling
of a word.
"*"
is the universal wildcard character. For example, the
search term br* will return all words that start
with "br" (brakes, bright, etc.), a search
on "br*ke drum", for example, will return
all articles with the term *brake drum* in it.
"?"
is the single wildcard character. For example, the search
term brake? will return all words that start
with "brake" with one character after it (brakes,
for example).
"Auto
Complete"
ShopKey5.com utilizes Internet Explorer's
"Auto Complete" feature providing a listing
of previous search terms. Just start typing and if you
see the term you are looking for in the drop-down list,
click on the term you are looking for and it will be
entered for you.
To turn off Auto Complete or adjust
your settings in Internet Explorer, go to Tools/Internet
Options and click the Content
tab. Then click the Auto Complete button.
The Forms check box is where you would enable/disable
Auto Complete in ShopKey5.com. You can also clear your
history, if desired.
To delete an item off the Auto Complete
list, just roll your mouse pointer over it to highlight,
and press the Delete key.
