Examples


help 5.56 4 AMMO

This command would search for the term '5.56' through all IDs in the 'AMMO' form category. The reason it searches in the form category is because we specified '4' as a second argument, which tells the command to search for a form. It searches for ammunition because we specified 'AMMO' after 4.
