Use Find Classified Ad to search for Classified Ads already in your database. Classified Ad information is stored in the database by the fields completed in the Add - Classified Ad process. When using the Find - Classified Ad page, you search for a desired Classified Ad using information stored in the database via these fields. Search results viewed on the List –Classified Ad page display in columns, and each column of search results corresponds to a data field. Only a limited, pre-defined set of columns pertaining to Classified Ads are available to you on the Find – Classified Ad page.
Note: The more specific you make your search criteria, the narrower the results returned are. A search for an advertiser beginning with "F" returns more results than a search for an advertiser beginning with "Full." And a search for all records with an advertiser starting with a "T" will produce more results than a search of a Product Name starting with a "T" with a specific publication.
Most Finds and Queries in netFORUM are run in CRM. The Find page is setup with a pre-defined set of columns (fields) versus a Query which allows you to select from any column in the search Table.
If you are not sure what you are looking for, use thenetFORUM wildcard character, the percent sign (%), to help you with your search. This is especially helpful when used in conjunction with the contains option on the advertiser field.
