Search Criteria

• Use the Select Search Field dropdown menu to pick which field(s) you would like to search on. Click on the Add button next to the dropdown menu to add the chosen field to the list of search criteria. If you would like to remove all of the previously added search fields and criteria, then click on the Clear Criteria button.
• If you have previously saved a set of search fields and criteria, then you may reload that set by choosing one of your saved searches from the or choose a saved search dropdown menu (click on the Delete button next to the dropdown menu to permanently remove the selected saved search).
• Check the Show Only Completed Requests? checkbox in order to have your search results filtered to only show requests which are deemed complete. Likewise, check the Show Only My Watched Requests checkbox in order to have the results filtered to only show requests which you are currently watching.
• For each search field that you have chosen, enter your desired criteria. For example, if you have selected the ID search field, then choose which comparison you would like to make from the dropdown menu (e.g. "Greater Than") and enter a number in the text box. If you would like to remove, or add another instance of, a particular search field, then use the - and + buttons, respectively, next to each search field.
• To perform your search using the fields and criteria you have selected, click on the Search button. If you would like to see how many results your search will return, then click on the Count button. Use the Reset Page button to reload the current page, but be aware that you will lose any unsaved search fields and criteria (use this button if your search happens to hang).
