Many database fields allow free input and flexible formats. Internal standards for creating records are invaluable to facilitate later searches.

  1. Enter one or more Search terms. The database fields that are searched vary depending on the function.
    Note: You can find more detailed information in the tooltip that is displayed on mousehover.
  2. More specific custom input fields are labelled with the name of the field to which they refer.
    Example: "Subject" or "External number"
  3. Search terms do not have to be complete, the beginnings of words will be enough. The search results, however, will be more accurate for complete terms.
    E.g.: "War" finds Warwick, Warner, Warburg etc.
  4. Search for a fragment that occurs in the middle of the word by inserting an asterisk "*" as a wildcard.
    Example: "*roy" finds Conroy and Milroy
  5. Search words do not have to be spelt completely correctly. The phonetic search also finds similar-sounding words. (German only)
    Example: The input "Meier" will find Meier, Mair and Meyer
