START NEW SEARCH
Enter a search term in the search line followed by [ENTER] or a click on the search button ![]() During the input – partly depending on the speed of the connection – a list of possible terms is displayed, from which you can select a term by a mouse click. Terms or names that consist of several individual words must be placed in quotation marks in order to be understood as a single term, example: “Rubens, Peter Paul” . Each entry in the search line followed by [ENTER] or a click on the search button starts a new search. |

SEARCH WITH MULTIPLE SEARCH TERMS
If you enter several terms in the search line (separated by spaces or the AND operator), a search is performed for data records in which all of the named terms occur. (Term in quotation marks are interpreted as a single search term). Several terms can be connected with an OR operation: Example: tree OR branch. Please note the capitalization of the operators, example: OR. It is also possible to use the AND or NOT operators as well as parentheses, enclosing the entire expression in quotes, example: “(Gogh AND Vincent) OR (Pablo AND Picasso)” |

SEARCH WITH PARTS (truncated terms)
You can truncate terms both on the right and on the left with an asterisk (*), example: tree*, *tree, *tree* . The search then looks for terms that begin with “tree” (tree*), that end with “tree” (*tree), or that contain “tree” in the word (*tree*). |

REFINE SEARCH
![]() If you have the result of a search, you can refine it by using the filters on the left side of the window. All terms displayed here are based on the search that has already been performed, i.e. they represent the search result in their context. The terms offered there are included in the displayed search result. The terms with the most hits are displayed in the filter at the top. If you want to select another term, click on the term more at the end of the list of the respective filter. |
A further selection of terms in the filters further refines the search. |
![]() If you want to use the filters without an already existing preselection, you must first click the button [SEARCH TOTAL STOCKS]. |

![]() In addition to the general search via the search slot and the refinement with the help of the filters, there is the possibility of advanced search. You activate this by clicking on the corresponding button at the right end of the search slot. |
The advanced search builds on the previously performed search. If you want to perform a new search, you must first select this by clicking on the [SEARCH TOTAL STOCKS] button.![]() The Advanced Search works in the same way as the Filter Search (see above REFINE SEARCH). |
