In many cases Quick search will not be sufficiently granular to find the data required and so you will have to use and advanced search form. The advanced search form allows you to search for data using several fields at a time, using numeric and date time data, using lists and deciding on the type of comparison.
To search for data using a search form with multiple fields:

To search for data using a search form with multiple fields:

1. Locate the Search box at the top left of screen
2. Click on the arrow next to the Find button to open the drop-down menu
3. Click on Advanced search
4. Fill in the form as necessary
5. Click the Find button at the bottom of the form

Example on CV database list:

The advanced search form is fully customized for your organization and depends on the type of data being searched, so it shows the fields that have been selected by your administrator for the given type of data.

In an advanced search form all the fields operate using the logical AND operator. For example, when you are searching for search CVs, if you select Location = Milan and Study title = Degree the search engine will find CVs where both conditions are true. In many cases you will need to find data using the logical OR operator: this is possible in an advanced search form if the search parameters you need to combine are in a list.

To select multiple items for lists from the advanced search form:

1. When you are viewing the advanced search form, click on the Actions > Search options >Multiple item search option
2. Select multiple items from the lists by using dragging and dropping
3. Click the Find button at the bottom of the form

For example when you are searching for CVs, with the Multiple item search option enabled, if you select Location = Milan and Location = Rome the search engine will find CVs where either of the conditions are true.

Although multiple selections of items from a list work using the logical OR operator, they still combine with other fields using the AND operator.

If you need to combine other fields using the logical OR operator or if you need to save the search criteria so they can be applied with a single click you will need to create a Saved Search.
