The "Simple Search" provides the most basic and comprehensive search feature. By default, it searches against all fields in the Council File Management System including resolution and motion documents. Either a single word or a string of words, phrases, and dates can be entered into the search box. This is the same method you use now to search for information on the internet or products from sellers’ websites. |
The search text that you enter into your search fields can be in Upper case or Lower case. The search results will be the same. |
Use the radio button selection to limit your search to only certain content within the Council files. (See descriptions below). |
A maximum of 500 Council files will be displayed in the search results screen. |
