Expand Search

The items found in a simple search run on the Requisitions page appear in a list from which you can sort, compare, add to your shopping list, or add to your requisition.

How You Use Expand Search

You can expand your search results by clicking Expand Search on the Search Results page. If you search for ink pen, for example, the simple search performs a Match All Search Terms search. A matching item must contain all the search terms. In this example it must contain both the terms ink and pen. Click Expand Search to expand the search using Stemming, Fuzzy and Begins With criteria on any of the words in the search string.

• Stemming: Matches words with their plural form and with their other tenses.

• Fuzzy: Matches words with similar spelling and pronunciations.

• Begins With: Matches words that begin with the word specified.
