With the Search in Documentation View, the documentation of MeVisLab can be searched (including all Doxygen references, all DocBook books, the OpenInventor reference, Python, and NumPy). The search starts immediately with each entered key (incremental search).

	Note
	As the index is read upon calling the search for the first time, the first search might take longer than expected. Further searches are fast.

The search works case-insensitive. However, correct spelling is preferred, as different best match results will be obtained for “field” and “Field”.

The search is index-based. When using a local repository, the documentation needs to be built locally to generate the index databases.

	Note
	Selections in the Search in Documentation View are persistent and set as the default the next time the View is used.
