As an added feature, this search engine allows the use of a wildcard in order to find the correct name. This is especially useful in cases where the spelling or exact name is uncertain. Searching by name is a very precise process, searching for a character by character match, and you may not get the records you are searching for on your first try. Names for the search must be entered exactly as they were entered at the time of licensing. Spaces, no spaces and periods will make a difference in your search for the licensee.
Users are able to tab forward and backward through the search criteria fields.
The user also has an option of how many rows of licensee information are displayed for a page. With the search made and the result displayed, users have the option of linking with the license number to a detail page of licensee information. If the result list contain more than a single page of information, links are provided to navigate from page to page in either direction. When using the drop-down boxes for occupation and county, a user can type the first character of an entry. Users can then scroll through all entries with that first character by entering the first character without needing to scroll through the options.
