Gundam5th Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) I am relatively new to modding and using the console. Can anyone tell me how to use the 'help' feature in the console to search for items with multiple words. I know how to do a general search for items, like if I was looking for Steel Armor, I would type in 'help steel 0'. But lets say I want to be more specific and look up 'steel armor' instead of just steel. How would I do that? I am not looking for the IDs to items, If I wanted those, I would have went to the skyrim wiki. I am trying to find out how to do multi-word searches in the console, if that is even possible. Thank you for your time. Edited November 4, 2012 by StefanBuczala Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanusForbeare Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Use quotes (ie. Help "Iron Dagger" 4). Alternatively, you can just use a single word (ie. Help Dagger 4) and use page up/page down to scroll through the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gremxula Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Not being able to use "quotes" in console may be down to your keyboard layout. My ~ key is in the wrong place but it seems that you enter console not through the ~ but the key left of number 1 my, " key is to the right of 1 so shift +2 works on mine. I know English (US) and English (UK) keyboards are slightly different and will run 99.5% OK on the wrong windows driver. The link below shows differences and the driver can be changed in the CP if needed. http://www.goodtyping.com/difteclats-us-uk2.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a big concern that I can't use quotes though, because I was unaware that PgUp and PgDn scrolls through the console. I was trying to use the arrows the entire time. Once again, thank you for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
