Advanced search
You can access advanced search options by clicking on ‘Advanced ‘. This allows you to restrict terms to specific fields or to combine multiple terms using boolean logic. Then click the search button to run the query.
If you click on ‘Advanced’ and then on the first drop-down, you will see all field options (Figure 14).

You can select the field of your choice. Some fields have further options under them. Depending on the chosen data set and field, you can enter some text or choose values from a drop-down list. You can enter many parameters through the panel (Figure 15).

To delete an entire row, click on ‘Remove’ at the end of the row. To add a third row of fields, click on the ‘Add Field’ button on the left hand side (Figure 16).

Once you have entered your search parameters, click on the search button. You can further filter your results on some popular options using the left hand panel (Figure 17) or return to the Advanced Search to add additional fields.
