Advanced search is used to build a set of conditions (or constraints) to use to find records. Three types of conditions may be used: Any/All Constraints, Field Constraints, and Group Constraints.

As of CollectionSpace Release v5.3v6, users have a high degree of control over the conditions to include with an advanced search. Users may:

• Add single fields to the advanced search form

• Set search operators for each field in the advanced search form

• Remove fields from the advanced search form

• Add groups of fields to the advanced search form

• Combine ANY and ALL logic within the advanced search form

Anchor Add single field Add single field Add single field to advanced search form
Click on Search in the top navigation bar Use the Find dropdown to select the Procedure or Authority you’d like to search
Scroll to the bottom of the advanced search form Click on the + Field button
Select the field to add to the advanced search form from the dropdown
Enter your search term into the new field

Set search operators for each field in the advanced search field list
Select the search operator using the dropdown between the field name and the advanced search form field Search operators will be different depending on the type of field, e.g. free text, controlled list, date, etc.
NB: All field constraint operators, with the exception of is blank, imply that the field is not blank. For example, Color is not red will only find records where Color has a value, and it is not red; it will not find records where Color is blank. A search for Color is not red or Color is blank will find both.
