Customize Your Results
The section at the bottom, Customize Your Results,
has two radio buttons that let you specify how much information
you want to type:
- Selecting all matches (the default) allows you
to type the beginning characters of your search target.
For example, typing jo for the last name
part of the Authorized Bidder field will locate
names starting with “Jo”, such as Johnson, Joseph,
Jolson, and so on.
- Selecting exact matches indicates that you want
to type all characters of your search target.
For example, typing jacob for the last
name part of the Authorized Bidder field will locate
only occurrences of Jacob. It will not find Jacobs, Jacobsen,
or other longer forms.
There are also fields that let you control the number of
matches displayed on a page (10 is the default value) and
how the results are to be sorted.
