Advanced Search Page

The Advanced Search page allows you to create complex search queries by selecting document fields and syntax operators from pull-down menus rather than typing them into the search box by hand.

To use the Advanced Search page, follow these steps:

1. Choose "current category" or "any category" from the "Search in" pull-down menu.
   
2. Choose the field you want to search from the pull-down menu.
   
3. Chose the operator you want to use from the pull-down menu. (The available operators vary depending on the kind of field you select.)
   
4. Enter your criteria in the search box (you can use wildcards).
   
5. Click the Search button.

Note that:

• Pull-down menus already have a default value entered for you. To select a different value, click the down arrow to the right of the box and choose the value you want to use.

• Search boxes are blank. Fill in the criteria you want to search for.

Each search box is in a row along with a field and operator menu. The menu choices you select are applied to the criteria you enter in that row's search box. (See Example Search for a detailed description of this process.)

By default, two menu-search rows are displayed. You must use the first row. Additional rows are optional; you can use them or not as you choose. If row's search box is left empty, that row is not used. To add or delete rows, click More or Fewer.

If you use more than one row to specify your search criteria, documents will only be listed if they meet all the criteria from each row. If a document matches the criteria of one row but not another, it will not be listed.
