Using the Search Assistant

The Search Assistant lets you easily create complex search queries by choosing the most common operators and properties from an easy-to-use interface. After creating your search query, you can save it for future use. For details, see Working with Saved Searches.

Note: You may need to type some or all of your search query if you want to use operators that are less common. See Tagging Engine Search Syntax for a list of some of these operators.

To use the Search Assistant, perform the following:

1. From the drop-down list to the left of the Contains condition, choose the property whose value you want to search for.
   
   For example, choose Tag if you want to search for items or people that have a certain tag applied to them.
   
   Tip: This list contains the properties that you can search for using Tagging Engine Search Syntax.

2. In the box to the right of the Contains condition, type the value of the property.
   
   For example, if you chose Tag in Step 1, type Sales to find the items and people that have the Sales tag applied to them.

3. (optional) Add new rows to your search query by performing the following:

1. Click .

2. In the new row, choose the AND or OR condition.

3. Repeat Steps 1-3 as desired.

4. (optional) Click to delete rows from your search query.

5. Click Finish when you are done creating your search query.
