You can specify searches from either the Quick Search or Advanced Search page. The Quick Search page is the default search page - it is automatically presented when a database is selected for searching. The Advanced Search page is accessible from the Default Search page. A Quick Search limits searches to the most frequently used indexes in a database, while an Advanced Search permits searches on all available indexes . The Quick Search and the Advanced Search page have been customized for each database, therefore they present different choices.
Some indexes contain text while others contain numeric or alphanumeric characters.
Only the most frequently used indexes are presented on the Quick Search page. The Advanced Search page includes all of the available indexes for that database. To search, type a term in the edit box beside the desired index. In some databases, the indexes are presented with multiple edit boxes. Multiple edit boxes allow you to search for more than one term using different search options and operators.
