Advanced Searching
Advanced Search allows you to specify additional criteria to help refine your search before executing it. Discovery Search allows administrators to configure multiple advanced search forms. If multiple Advanced Search forms are configured, a form dropdown list will appear after clicking Advanced Search that prompts you to select which form you want to use. Customized Advanced Search options will then display.
Advanced Search Forms are configured and assigned to Roles by your administrator.
