Guided Keyword Search

The Guided Keyword Search finds records using keywords located anywhere in a record, or only in specific fields.

To perform a Guided Keyword Search, do the following:

  1. Type in the search term(s) you want to find in the Search For free text field. (Punctuation, case, and word order are ignored.) Your search terms are automatically truncated on the right, so you don't need to use a question mark (?) for truncation.

    2.  
  2. Select from the Search Type drop-down list whether you want to search for all the search terms, any of the search terms, or the search terms as a phrase.

    3.  
  3. Select which Boolean operator you want applied to the next search term(s): AND, OR, or NOT. Narrow your search by further limiting by entering information in the following free text fields and selecting options and Boolean operators from the drop down menu as needed.
