The Search functionality of Deltek EPM Security Administrator (SA) helps you find a record or group of records using certain search criteria. For example, you could use a search dialog box to search for all of your contacts that live in a particular state, or find groups.
You can also do the following actions with the Search functionality:
Perform a quick search
Find and select single or multiple records
Perform an advanced search
Search is available whenever you see 
(or the Search icon) at the upper-right corner of a displayed record.
You can find this icon right beside the Search
field. Clicking the icon displays a search dialog box containing a result
list that satisfies your criteria. This eliminates the need to examine
large numbers of records to find particular information. Instead, it only
gives you records that you really need at your disposal.
The search dialog boxes of EPM SA contain standard features. The interface of these search dialog boxes, however, varies depending on the option that you select in the Displayed Type field and the data that you want to find, such as a role and a group.
When a form view is displayed, you can navigate between records using these VCR buttons.
Clicking the down arrow next to the first number displays a drop-down list of all of the selected records. Clicking the far-left arrow button takes you to the first selected record.
This menu only navigates you through the selected records using the search dialog box. If the menu is not displayed, open the search dialog and then navigate through available records.
You can locate an entry by entering the entire search string in the Search dialog box. The Search functionality is not case-sensitive. For example, DEFAULT and default both locate the role ID DEFAULT.
