but can't rush it

Indeed, and is probably the reason why the Sonar X2 manual has errors in it.

Can you search the online manual? I didn't see a search feature.

Was looking for this too. It's useless without a search. 


What happened to the offline manual? I used to just go to Help - search for a keyword, then pull up the appropriate article. It worked amazingly well. This online manual nonsense stinks in general. Was this an X1 change or did this happen in X2? So far, it's been the worse part about upgrading from 8.5.

Just download the PDF manual. Couldn't be simpler...

If the online manual opens in IE you should be able to use Ctrl+F to search for text.
 
My DAW isn't connected to the internet so SONAR seems to have recognized that and never provided the online option.  However, there is an option for using the offline version instead, but I'm not in front of SONAR and cannot remember what/where it is...

Hi Steve, I think that only works if the text you are looking for is on the current web page.

Correct.

Doing it using the standard Help dialog box within Windows is simpler than first having to find and open the PDF.

In Preferences, you can choose to use Offline Help (forget where exactly, but it's one of the Advanced settings).

Or you could create a desktop shortcut to the chm file that gets installed in the SONAR exe directory.

Page 1688 of the X2 Reference Guide (found it in seconds)

Preferences > File > Advanced

tick the check box "Always Use Offline Help"

I use the offline, but X2 ships with online by default. Ya you can use the browsers search functionality... but what you are looking for is often not in the table of contents ;)
It's on page 345 or 82 or 1023, etc.

Browsers do not let you search pages you are not on. Assuming this is all in a database a lil search function would be badass!
