You simply have to select one of the available queries and activate the Search button. The search results appear in the main window.

Simple Search

The “Simple Search” tab can be used to search for specific content in one of the input fields of a dataset. The required search term must be entered in the relevant input field and the Search button activated. A full-text search is performed. References contained in the datasets are also searched through, e.g., references to media, page references, etc. Searches in input fields in which, for example, images are referenced, search through the respective reference names of the images. Terms can also be entered in several fields to further limit the search. The search results appear in the main window.
