• Advanced

Advanced search gives you the option to refine your search. In the search bar at the top you will see 4 fields and a search button.

• Keyword - Same as basic search. Enter your search term or phrase here. This field IS required.
• Year - If desired, enter a year here. This fields must be year only. Date formats such as 01/06/202, 01.06.2020 etc will not work. This field is NOT required.

• Search Article Content - If desired, toggle to return articles which contain your keyword or phrase in the body of the article content. This field is NOT required.
