Understand the Advanced Search Functions
The advanced search allows you to create filters for a selected object in the system that you want to search for. The more filters you create, the more you can narrow down your results. Filter Types can be set by object Property, what the object Contains, what the object is Contained By, or what/who the object is Assigned To. For example, you can search for Knowledge Assessments that are online and contain radio select answer styles. You can also easily manage your filters, and once you have conducted your search, you can jump to a specific object in the system from your search results.
To access the advanced search, click on the Search icon in the Quick Access Bar, and then click on the Advanced tab in the Search dialog. Click the Add button to add filter, as shown in the image below:

There are several filter types available to help narrow down your search results:
Property - Searches for an object based one or more of its properties.
Contains - Searches for an object based on an object it contains.
Contained By - Searches for an object based on its parent object.
Assigned To - This option is only available when the "Assignment Search" checkbox is enable in the Advanced tab. This allows you to search for objects based on the objects they are assigned to.
Examples of Filters and how to manage them is explained here.
You will use the functions in the Advanced tab of the Search dialog to add filters and conduct your search. The parts of this dialog are explained below:
