To open the Find window: Select Find > Find Records or Find > Find Categories
1 Displays the name of the collection/catalog(s) that will be searched by the query in this Find window and that is referred to as ’current collection’.
2 Search criteria.
3 Search operator.
4 Search value. (If the selected search criteria is a Vocabulary field, a Browse button is offered to select a value from the given terms.)
NOTE: You can search for whole words, not just for matching strings – if the Record field set as search criteria is activated for word-searching. Enclose the word you are searching for in single quotation marks and Cumulus will only find the records that contain the exact word. For example searching for copy will find records containing the words copy as well as copyright, copyhold, copyfree and so on. Searching for ‘copy’ will find records containing the word copy only.
5 Inserts a new search condition before the current one.
6 Inserts a new search condition after the current one.
NOTE: The order of search conditions is important when you connect search conditions with the Boolean operator “or”. (For more details, see “Sequence of Search Conditions” .)

BACKGROUND INFO: Window Connected to Collection
When a Find window is opened, it is connected to the active collection or catalog window. That’s why the name of the source window is displayed in the title of the Find window. It is important to be aware of this fact, when you use an open Find window for multiple searches – especially, if you decide to have the search results displayed in a new collection. Be aware of this fact when using the following search methods: – Find in Current Collection: the contents of the source window defines the ’search area’ – Find and Add to Current Collection: the matches of the search are added to the contents of the source window
