Select items to build up search filters on any information about an object. The following is a list of what is available, before you have defined a search: If you are adding filters to an existing search, the list contains only items appropriate to the initial filter. For example, if the initial filter is on diagram properties, the list for any subsequent filters for the search only contains the Diagram option.

• | Multiple search definitions are better for 'and/or' searches |
