Specific Searches

The database is set up so you can search any of the given fields. To begin a search click on the “Magnify Glass” icon (Find button) on the top right corner, as shown below:

Type in the text by which you would like to search. You can check off any of the fields you would like to include in your search. All searches default to using the “and” command. For example, if you type in “Jane” for first name and “Australia” as country the search will be “Jane and Australia.”

Performing an “Or” Search
If you would like to include only an “or” search you can click on “New Request” button after entering your first search string (see below):

For example, you can type in “Jane” for first name and then click the “New Request” button and then type in “Australia” in the country field. The search will now be for “Jane or Australia.”

For the more qualitative fields, you can type in generic words such as “funding” or “resources” the search will scan the database and pull up the specific key words.

When you click on this icon it will allow you to sort by any of the fields in the “Choose Fields” table. In the example, shown below we have begun a sort by “organization” and clicked on ascending order. You can sort by multiple fields, by clicking on the field you would like to include, next clicking on “>move>” and the field will appear in the “Sort Order” box. You can then choose to have the information appear in ascending or descending order.
