Using Intel Search Filters
With Visual Studio* 2005 and 2008, you can include Intel documentation in all search results by checking the 'Intel' search filter box for the Language, Technology, and Content Type categories. You must check the Intel search box for all three categories to include Intel documentation in your searches. Unchecking all three Intel search boxes excludes Intel documentation from search results. The Intel search filters work in combination with other search options for each category.
Locating Intel Topics

2005 and 2008, select Contents from the Visual Studio Help menu.
Then, select Intel in the choices under Filtered by. In
navigating the Intel documentation, you may want to know where the
topic you are reading is located in the table of contents (TOC).
Click the Sync with Table of Contents 
button on the Visual Studio
toolbar to find where the topic is located in the TOC. You can also
use Sync with Table of Contents
with Intel topics in search
results or with the context-sensitive help topics to locate them in the Intel documentation TOC.
