Use advanced search

Learn how to do advanced searches in eHive.

Overview

When you search in eHive, it looks through the entire object record to find a match. This may be a single word (book) or a phrase ("Diego Torres"). But this will look in every single field, sometimes including objects you don't want.

You can search in a specific field or with different combinations of fields with advanced search.

  1. Click on the Search menu.

  2. Click on Advanced search.

  3. Choose the field you want to search in from the dropdown. If you want to search through all of the information in a record, choose the All fields option.
