In the right-hand field, type the data you want to find.
The field is not case-sensitive; you can type uppercase or
lowercase letters in any combination.
All Matches Versus Exact Matches
The radio buttons at the bottom 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, selecting By Applicant Name on the
left and typing jo on the right 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, selecting By Applicant Name on the
left and typing jacob on the right will
locate only occurrences of Jacob. It will not find Jacobs,
Jacobsen, or other longer forms.

Once you have set up your search criteria, click the SUBMIT
button to start the search operation. The results of the search

Results screen.
You can also click the RESET button to clear
