| <p>It is recommended that you perform searches on successfully compiled |
| programs to ensure the accuracy of search results. It is important to familiarize yourself with the correct search syntax |
| to use to complete an effective search. It is also important to ensure that |
| include paths and symbols are correctly defined. For more information, see |
| <a href="../tasks/cdt_t_sd.htm">Setting up include paths and macros for C/C++ indexer</a>.</p> |
