Finding different sets of criteria
You can find all the records in a file (for example, after you’ve created
a found set), find records that match more than one set of criteria (logical
AND search), or find records that match either one set of criteria or
another (logical OR search).
Repeating, editing, and deleting find requests
You can repeat the most recent find request to find records that match
the same criteria. If you add or delete records after defining the first
request, the result is a different set of found records. You may also edit
your requests before finding records again.
To find Do this
All the records in a file Choose Find All from the Select menu.
A group of records that match a
specific set of criteria
In one request, enter criteria into as many fields as
needed to make your request specific (creating a logical
AND search), and then click Find (or choose Perform
Find from the Select menu). For example, type Johnson
and Personnel to find all people named Johnson who
work in Personnel.
Records that match one criterion or
another
Choose New Request from the Mode menu. (Or use the
bookmark to display the request to duplicate, and then
choose Duplicate Request from the Mode menu.) Enter or
edit the criteria, continue adding new or modified
requests for each set of criteria (creating a logical OR
search), and then click Find (or choose Perform Find from
the Select menu). For example, type New York in the
first request and Paris in the second request to find all
records that contain either New York or Paris.
