Hi kishan negi

It provide info about the six different search helps but does not specify which help will be displayed in what order

Means if i will apply all or some of these helps then which will have preference of displayed over the other and what is the specific use of each search help

[suresh_datti]

I don't think the order is an issue here.. as you will be able to tie only one search help to a field at any time..
