Specify Web Portal Searching
Options
Geo Coords: Require all records retrieved in searches to have geocoordinates.
Images: Retrieve only records with attachments.
Limit to map (map view only): Only retrieve records collected in the area currently displayed on the map.
Express
Searches for records that contain the entered text in any field. When ‘Any’ is selected, records are retrieved if they contain any search term. If ‘All’ is selected, only records that contain all terms are retrieved. The ‘*’ character allows partial matching of search terms to words in records. Phrases can be enclosed in quotation marks. Express searches are case-insensitive.
Run searches by pressing the ‘Enter’ key or clicking the search button.
Examples:
Idaho Wyoming Montana
"black bullhead" Kansas Douglas
"North Carolina" Wadesbor*
*formes
G*form*
Advanced
Advanced search allows fields to be searched individually. Advanced searches are case-sensitive. When Any is selected records are retrieved if one or more of the advanced search conditions are matched. If All is selected records are retrieved only if all advanced search conditions match. An advanced search condition can be negated by clicking the box to the left of the operator.

Map View
When the Search button in the lower-left corner of the map view is clicked or ‘Limit to map’ is selected, searches will be restricted to the area currently displayed on the map. Otherwise, when a search is run, the map view will be adjusted to contain the results.
