The "Search" sub-menu of the "Red Hat Access" menu is used to launch an in-product search screen that provides access to the Red Hat Knowledgebase. To access the additional information, the user will need to have an active account on the Red Hat Customer Portal.

Once the user is logged into the Red Hat Customer Portal, the search screen allows a keyword search of the Knowledgebase to be performed. Users can enter error codes, lines from a log file, or any set of keywords to produce a relevant query. The plug-in will search the Red Hat Knowledgebase and present the results in a list with the most relevant results first. The user can then select an item in the list to view the solution/article details in right pane.
