    Note:

    You must specify at least one search criterion while searching for an account.

Similarly, one more search criterion is required when you are searching for an account (associated with the policies) using the policy type and/or source system.

    ORMB search engine supports wildcard search, where you can substitute the percentage (%) symbol as a stand in for any word or letter in a search criteria. You can use the '%' wildcard character in all input fields except the date and ID fields. The '%' wildcard character is suffixed automatically at the end of the partial search criteria. Therefore, you may or may not specify the wildcard character at the end of the partial search criteria. However, you have to prefix the wildcard character manually wherever required.
