becomes listed in the Search tool’s Criteria panel as a search criteria statement.
It is recommended that you verify the logic of your search criteria and query by reviewing
the summary statements displayed in the Criteria panel and the Query summary below the
Criteria panel (figure
7-8 ). If these statements are accurate, then you can click the S EARCH
button to launch the search. If the statements are not exactly what you want, you can edit
the search criteria by selecting the criteria statement in the Criteria panel and then clicking
the E
DIT button. The E DIT AN E XISTING CRITERIA window appears and allows you to change
the property’s conditions in the same way that you created the criteria.

If your search criteria is too general, then the Search tool could retrieve more results than
are necessary, which could take time and be ineffective. At any time during the search, you
can click the S

The results that were retrieved to that point will be displayed in the Results area.
Rather than recreating the same search criteria every time you start a new session, you can
save the search criteria to disk using the S
AVE button and then open the search criteria later
using the L OAD button. See “Saving and loading a search criteria” on page 7-25 for more
information.

See “Performing an advanced search” on page 7-22 for precise instructions on how to use
the advanced search interface to find assets.
