The operation is very simple. In the first field, select the search category before submitting your search terms. If your search terms do not appear in the results, select “All” and try again.
In the second field you can choose (in certain cases) one of three values:
- Contains – Select this value if you want the filter to display the results containing the keywords you enter in the search field.
- Is – Choose this value if you have the exact title of the item you are looking for.
- Is not – Select this value if you wish to exclude your search terms.
In the last field, enter the keywords and click Search.
Additional search terms can be added by using the two “+” icons.
