Thus, "john" in the name field yields all Publications which have this string of characters, including Publications with names "Johns," "Johnson," "Bonjohn," etc., anywhere they appear in the Contact's name. Searching Multiple Terms - ALL, ANY"ALL" is the default search. If you select multiple fields on which to search, you should control your search using "ALL" or "ANY." "ALL" searches for records containing all the terms selected. For example, a search on State=North Carolina AND Contact Type=ICC would yield ICC Publications located in NC.Selecting "ANY" searches for records containing any of the terms chosen. A search using "ANY" would yield documents where at least one of the terms appeared in each contact's record. "ANY" is used to combine terms that have similar meaning and broadens the search.
