What are RSS feeds and how do they benefit my installation? An RSS feed is a live link you initiate by subscribing to someone's website. Once subscribed, the primary benefit is a constantly updating stream of content that is delivered to your system in the form of summarized articles, forum threads, blog posts, and so on. RSS stands for Rich Site Summary (or Really Simple Syndication). Where can I learn about InfoCenter search locations? You can use InfoCenter to search multiple sources (for example, Help and specified files) at one time, or choose to search a single file or location. For more information, refer to Configure InfoCenter Communication Center (optional) on page 33. How do I set or customize search locations? InfoCenter Search and Communication Center settings can be set in the InfoCenter Settings dialog box or in the CAD Manager Control utility.

See Configure InfoCenter Communication Center (optional) on page 33 for more information regarding the settings you can configure.
