Search Syntax

Search criterion in its simplest form consists of a single word. To search for a string that contains one or more spaces, enclose the string in quotation marks. Without quotation marks, Find command treats each word as a separate search string.

Precede a condition with "+" to display only records that match this condition. The "+" specifier allows you to implement the logical AND operator. No space appears between the "+" sign and the condition.

Precede a condition with "-" to exclude records that match this condition from search results. No space appears between the "-" sign and the condition.

The table below contains examples of search criteria:

Search Criteria	Description
register	Selects records that contain the "register" string in any search column.
check register Dave	Selects records that contain either "check" OR "register" OR "Dave" strings in any search column.
"check register"	Selects records that contain "check register" in any search column.
screen +"Richard Fisher"	Selects records that contain both "screen" AND "Richard Fisher" in search columns.
data +entry -mark	Selects records that contain both "data" AND "entry" in search columns, excluding records that contain "mark".
menu mask -file	Selects records that contain "menu" OR "mask", excluding records that contain "file".

Note: Searches in the Find panel are case insensitive.
