Oh, I see. You don't know that newview's search is somewhat broken
relative to view's search and that there are significant implementation
differences.
Newview's search tab search is a limited search relative to view's Ctrl-s
search.
Newview's Ctrl-s searches only the current window. Alt-S is the closest
equivalent to view's Ctrl-S. I haven't gotten around to asking Aaron why
Ctrl-S and Alt-S got swapped this way, but it's probably way to late to
get this changed.
There are also implementation differences. Newview does a word or search
by default. View does a phrase search by default. View supports wildcard
searches. Newview supports + and - searches, but AFAIK, not wildcards.
Newview is handy for global searches, but the search limitations prevent
me from using it as my default viewer.
So, use a help viewer that searches correctly and you will find lots of
search hits.

Yours are for an older version, but the content you need is there.

Right.
