Search Dialog Box

Use the Search dialog box to create a new search or update an existing search's criteria.

Depending on the application in which you are working, this dialog box displays when you select + New Search or click Search from the Searches List or a lookup.

The Search dialog box includes both basic and advanced features that allow you to use the Search Criteria grid to build a search that matches your requirements. Your search can include multiple criteria and rows and operators, which allow you to use "And" and "Or" conditions.

After building the search, you can preview the list of search results or a subset of the results.

When searching Hub records or lookup fields, you can also find word records that sound the same in search fields and lookup lists across all hubs and applications. This type of word search allows you to find names or words that have variant spellings or that contain diacritical (accent) marks or special characters, as illustrated in the following name examples: Steven/Stephen, René/Reneé, and Smith/Smyth/Smythe. To enable this type of word search, select the Find words that sound the same when performing searches preference on the General tab of the My Preferences dialog box. For more information, see Find Words That Sound the Same and Set the Search Preference to Find Words That sound the Same topics.
