<div><div class="section">You may use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard character anywhere in your

search text (IE. Dund*,C). The wildcard character represents a substring of

|
zero or more characters. Note that using the wildcard character at the beginning
|

of search text (IE. *dee,C) may cause longer response times.</div>

<div><div class="section"><p>The last name must be specified first, optionally followed by
|
||
|
|
a first name. If you use a comma (",") to separate the last name from the
|
||
|
|
first name, then the last name is assumed to be the full last name (e.g. McDonald,R).
|
||
|
|
If you want to specify only part of the last name, then either use a blank
|
||
|
|
space to separate the last name from the first name (e.g. McDon R), or use
|
||
|
|
a wildcard character in the last name before specifying the "," (e.g. McDon*,R).</p>

<p>For

<div><div class="section"><p>The advanced search form allows you more control, allows you more
|
||
|
|
options to search by, and allows you to search on multiple fields simultaneously.
|
||
|
|
However, note that what you type is used explicitly for an exact match. This
|
||
|
|
means that if you want to do a wildcard search you must add the wildcards
|
||
|
|
(*s). For example, if you just put a "D" in the "Last name" field, it will
|
||
|
|
not find anyone named John Doe. This is different from the search bar where
|
||
|
|
"D" would have found John Doe. With advanced search, you must explicitly type
|
||
|
|
"D*" to find someone named John Doe.</p>
|

|
|
<p>Example of an advanced search:</p>

matches the listing you are looking for. Click on the person's name to lookup

all of that individual's directory information. You can send the individual

a note by clicking on their e-mail address, assuming your browser is properly
