Searching the Manuals

This feature is only available when JeppView 3 is installed on the same machine.

Use the Search tab to locate key words in the Jeppesen Airway Manual or the Bottlang Airfield Manual. To search for a topic or a keyword:

  1. Click the Search tab.

  2. Enter keywords into the Search field. If you are looking for a French or German word in the Bottlang Airfield Manual (VFR Text), ensure that you have the appropriate language selected in the Text Viewer toolbar or select the Show all languages button.

NOTE Currently, phrase searches or quoted search strings are not supported.

  1. If you enter multiple words and would like to find topics including all of the words, select All words (AND). If you want to find topics that contain any word of the words, but not necessarily in the same topic, keep Any word (OR) selected.

  1. Select the Match whole word only check box if you want to search for the whole word and not partial words. Searching for "end" with whole words only locates topics with "end" in them. The search engine does not search for "end" in other words such as "descend", "intended", "attend", "endless", and "endorsed".

NOTE The system ignores common words like "and", "to", "the", "or", "I", and "a" if Match whole words only is selected. This does not keep them from being highlighted on the page. These words are ignored for the search, but not by the highlighting feature.

  1. Select Airway Manual or VFR Text (if applicable). You can search only one manual at a time.

  2. Click Search.
