Advanced Search

You can search any combination of fields in the Advanced Search page. Some fields are text boxes below (like “Document”), while others are multi-select boxes (like “UniServ Area” or “Certified/Classified”) or Date fields.

In text boxes you can access an index of available words simply by typing in the box and you’ll notice the Search History/Word Index changes to show words that match what you’ve typed. The same box will also keep a record of previous searches. Click the star next to any entry to save the search and the icon on the right can be used to give the saved search a name.

When you have finished entering search terms, click “Search.”

Date Range Searches

When fields are indexed as “Date” fields and include Month/Day/Year, the date range functionality is available. In these cases a link to mini-calendar is provided for easy searching.

Wildcard Search

You can use ‘wildcard’ characters when searching. Wildcard characters are used in place of letters or parts of words/phrases which you don’t know. They are helpful, for instance, in cases where only a partial spelling of the word is known or if the word is used in different forms, i.e., noun, verb, adverb, etc. For example, the word-stem ‘work’ also occurs in ‘worker’ and ‘working’. You could search for “work”, “worker”, and “working” by simply entering “work*
