## Find Window

Use the Find window to find a specific entry in an object list.

Basic Criteria | Select to quickly perform a search based on relatively simple, predefined criteria. When Basic Criteria is selected, the Find window displays a set of drop-down lists of commonly searched fields (properties) for the view. Select one or more predefined values and/or ranges, or enter values in the criteria boxes. The search will return all objects that contain the criteria that you specify.
