How do I search the database?

There are two main ways to search the database, simple and advanced searching.

Simple search

The simple search is accessed via the "Google-style" search box in the top right hand corner of the CalmView page.

By default, this will search across the Title, Description and Reference Number fields. Where more than one term is entered, the default is an AND search. This means the database will search records with both the search terms present.

Advanced search

The advanced search, located between the Home and Showcase, enables you to perform "Any Text Field" searches, and also to search specifically on certain fields.

See the "What are acceptable searches?" page for more information and search examples.
