• Double-click an item to expand the listing for that item and show the first
page of that document or section in the display pane.
• Use the down and up arrow keys to move through the list of items.
The Contents listing shows documentation for all products installed on your
system, or only shows documentation for specified products if you have the
Product filter set to Selected.
Product Roadmap
When you select a product in the Contents pane (any entry with a book icon
), such as MATLAB or the Communications Toolbox, a roadmap of the
documentation for that product appears in the display pane. The roadmap
points to the key documentation for that product and provides links to:
• An index of documentation examples for that product
• The PDF version of the documentation, which is suitable for printing
Product Pages
After expanding the listing for a product in the Contents pane, the last entry is
Product Page (Web). This allows you to link to the MathWorks Web site for
latest information about that product.
Contents Pane Is Synchronized with Display Pane
By default, the topic highlighted in the Contents pane always matches the title
of the page appearing in the display pane. The Contents listing is said to be
synchronized with the displayed document. This feature is useful if you access
documentation with a method other than the Contents pane, for example,
using a link in a page in the display pane. With synchronization, you always
know what book and section the displayed page is part of.
You can turn off synchronization. To do so, use preferences – see “General –
Synchronizing the Contents Pane with the Displayed Page” on page 4-23.
Note that synchronization only applies to the Contents pane. The page shown
in the display pane does not necessarily correspond to the selection in the
Search, Index, or Favorites tabs.

Using the Help Navigator
Finding Documentation Using the Index
To find specific index entries (selected keywords) in the MathWorks
documentation for your products, use the Index tab in the Help Navigator
pane.
1 Set the Product filter to All or Selected.
2 Click the Index tab.
3 Type a word or words in the Search index for field. As you type, the index
displays matching entries and their subentries (indented). It might take a
few moments for the display to appear.
The product and title of the document that includes the matching index
entry are listed next to the index entry, which is useful when there are
multiple matching index entries. You might have to make the Help
Navigator pane wider to see the product and document.

4 Select the index entry from the list to display that page.
The page appears in the display pane, scrolled to the location where the
index entry appears.
5 To see more matching entries, scroll through the results.
Tips for Using the Index. If you’re not satisfied with the resulting index entries,
try one of the following:
• If the Product filter is set to Selected, change it to All to see more results.
If it’s set to All, change it to Selected to see fewer results.
• Type a different term or reverse the order of the words you type. For
example, if you’re looking for writing M-files, instead type M-files and
look for the subentry creating.
• Search for the term in the displayed page using the Find in page field.
• Make the Help Navigator pane wider to see the name of the product and
document to which the index entry pertains.
• Try the Search tab – for instructions, see “Searching Documentation” on
page 4-13.

Using the Help Navigator
Searching Documentation
To look for a specific phrase in the documentation, use the Search tab in the
Help Navigator pane.
1 Set the Product filter to All or Selected.
2 Click the Search tab.
3 Select a Search type:
- Full Text searches through all the text in the documentation. This can
result in a very large number of results, so it’s best to use this after using
the Document Titles or Function Name search types.
- Document Titles searches through the headings in the documentation.
This is the best way to start most searches.
- Function Name searches through the function reference pages. This is the
equivalent of the doc function.
- Online Knowledge Base connects to the MATLAB Web site and searches
through the Technical Support information.

4 Type the word or words you want to look for in the Search for field, and click
Go (or press Enter or Return). The search automatically performs a boolean
AND for multiple words. Do not explicitly type AND or similar boolean
expressions between words and do not place quotes around terms.
The documents containing the search term are listed, grouped by product.
The number of pages containing the search term is displayed in the status
bar. For each result, the Title and Section of the document containing the
search phrase are displayed. You might have to make the Help Navigator
pane wider to see the Section name.
5 Select an entry from the list of results.
The page containing the search term appears in the display pane and all
occurrences of the search term are highlighted in the page. For example, if
the search term is font preferences, all occurrences of font and all
occurrences of preference are highlighted in the page. To see variants of the
term in the page, use the Find in page field.
6 To see more matching search results, scroll through the list.
Tips for Using Search
Try “Narrowing Search Results” or “More Search Results and Information”.
Narrowing Search Results. If you see many results that are not relevant, try the
following.
• Change the Search type. For example, for a general topic, use the type
Document Titles, or to go to the reference page for a function use the
Function name search type.
