Add & Delete Search Criteria

You can add search criteria as many times as you'd like before you execute the search. However, be forewarned that adding too much criteria can decrease the odds of finding the information. It is recommended to limit the criteria to one or two items.

Deleting search criteria decreases the number of the conditions a search must satisfy. If you perform a search that doesn't return any matches, deleting search criteria will increase the odds of searching successfully.

To add search criteria

The following steps assume you have already built a search. If you have not yet built a search, please see the To Build a Search section before proceeding.

1. Click one of the search options in the Find Items That Meet These Conditions box.

2. In the text box in the middle, type the specific search criteria or scroll through the choices and make a selection.

NOTE: Some search options such as Residential State, Residential Country, Occupation, and Degree Earned may offer you choices.

3. Click Add To Search.

4. Repeat the steps above as many times as you'd like. Keep in mind that adding more criteria will decrease the odds of finding matches.
