To set up a simple search (as opposed to a compound search, described on here):
1. Click Find > Find Records or Find Categories to open the Find window.
2. Select a search criterion from the Criteria list. This list contains all record or category fields activated for searching.
3. Select an operator from the Operator list. This list contains all operators that are possible for the field type of the field selected as criteria.
4. Either select a value from the Value list, type a value in, or drag an appropriate object onto the field. (Appropriate objects can be either thumbnails or categories.)
5. Leave the default search method Search in All Open Catalogs. This method searches all catalogs included in the current collection.
6. Click New Collection so that the records found will be displayed in a new collection of their own.
