The default search box, shown in Fig. Fig. 3.2, will search the first work list that is shown on screen and the search be restricted to the columns visible. If you want to search other columns as well, they have to be enabled first from the settings menu (consult Browser for more information). After typing a search term in the search box, the search is executed by pressing the Enter-key or clicking the icon.

To open the advanced search functionality, the icon has to be clicked. This will enable searching based on study date (Fig. Fig. 3.3). Contrary to the normal search, the StudyDate column does not have to be enabled to search on it. By clicking the Start date or End date input box, a date picker will appear that enables you to easily select a date. It is also possible to only select a Start or End date. This will search from the start date onwards, or search until the end date, respectively. After filling in the required dates, press the icon to execute the search. The icon closes the advanced search.

The search can be cleared by pressing the icon.
