Explanation
The [Find] tab allows you to search the local global database as well as the Community Server. When searching locally all records are returned by default. When searching the Community Server you will need to enter a search term. The results will be returned in pages based on your Results Page Size value.
Search Term Hints
When searching the databases for items less is more. You want to enter a value than can be found in a single field. For example: say we are looking for a Sony DVW A-500. The following is a list of terms and their results:
Search: Sony - Result: All Sony products and any products from other manufacturers that have Sony in their description fields.
Search: DVW - Result: All products with DVW somewhere in the name or description.
Search: SONY DVW - Result: None. There are no products with the manufacturer name and the product name in a single field.
