For some tasks, Horizon displays a Compound Search window. This window lets you use the “AND” and “OR” boolean operators to broaden or narrow your search. (You can also use boolean operators to do an expert search. For more information, see Doing an Expert Search.)
To do a compound search
1 | Activate the process that includes a compound search window. |
Horizon opens the Compound Search window:
2 | Highlight the index you want to search. |
3 | Enter a search term in the Search for field. |
4 | Do one of these options: |
• | Mark AND to narrow a search. |
• | Mark OR to broaden a search. |
5 | Highlight a search index from the list of indexes. |
6 | Enter another search term in the Search for field. |
7 | If you want to add new results to the current ones, click Append List. |
8 | Repeat steps 4 through 7 until your search string is complete. |
Horizon displays your search string as you enter it. You can enter up to 300 characters.
Note: For the search to work best, leave the last search term of the series in the Search for field.
9 | Click Search. |
If Horizon cannot find the information based on the search criteria, Horizon displays the Search Message window:
10 | If this window appears, click OK and repeat steps 2 through 9, as necessary, until you have a successful search. |
Make sure you have spelled the codes correctly or you have selected the correct codes from the lists and that you have used the Boolean operators correctly.
