Make this page searchable: https://www.wealth-lab.com/Support/ApiReference

Test: Search for LimitMove
Result: Find a result in enums.

The C# Coding Quickref is not searchable for this method either.

LimitMove is not something that you use of out context so when you learn it's an OrderType member, you just switch to its QR entry.

But you can use Google or DuckDuckGo as a workaround. Prefix your search with "site:www.wealth-lab.com/Support/ApiReference/"

"Finding a result in enums" would return TOO many hits if you type in something less focused than LimitMove (e.g. BarHistory), and thus defeat the effort.

Even I agree that the QuickRef needs a better way to search. If you don't know your way around the classes - or even if you do - it's not easy to find something like "LimitMove".

Leaving WealthLab to use the "world wide web" to search for something that's on your desktop and in the QuickRef isn't a good solution.

Instead of filtering the results for the selected Class, let's provide a true Search solution.

I don't think this should require votes, but I'll vote for it.
fyi, just, when you mark a Feature Request, you still need to add your vote by clicking the thumb's up on Post #1.

I agree. I recently had problems finding the class that defined the sampling rate of the bars, and I have been using WL for sometime. Eventually I found HistoryScale, but it took about 40 minutes for an experience WL user to find that class. An inexperience user would have never found it.

You have my vote to improve the search features of the QuickRef and/or Help docs.

I already have a Firefox command defined as suggested in Post #1 to search the website.

Thanks for adding the search capability to the QuickRef. (yes WL8)

Could a scroll bar be provided when the search result extend past the bottom of the window panel?
