For Parents and Students to Search and Compare

1. Two search engines, form-based search and advanced search (Smart Search) are provided in addition to Quick Search;
2. For each search, select a search field, a comparison operator (normally ‘=’) and a value. For numerical fields, you can select ‘>’, ‘<’, ‘>=’, ‘<=’ and ‘<>’ in addition to ‘=’. Typing in on the dropdown list boxes accelerates your selection;
3. Note: ‘Quick Search’ searches one field at a time while the form-based Search can search multi-fields altogether. The form-based Search combines the search fields with logic ‘AND’, which means ‘All of them’. The Smart Search is an intelligent search engine. It knows how to combine the search fields using the logic “All of them” or “Any of them”.
4. For a Smart Search, select search terms from the dropdown lists (as in 3,  any values of same or different fields, any times) and click 'Add' to combine search conditions and then click ‘Search’.
5. Click on table column headers to sort in ascending or descending orders.
6. Compare the lists in the first table (grid view).
7. Click ‘Details’ to check detailed information.
8. Note: If non-printable characters are displayed because of additional language other than English was used in the member’s listing, you can go ‘Control Panel>Regional and Language Options’ to add the additional language for display.
