Enter as much information as possible in the Search Fields. You will need a minimum of three criteria. Use tab key to move between fields. Tab out of the last field before initiating search.

Note: The criteria you enter will convert to all caps.

8. 

Click the Search button.

Note: When you click the Search button, the system searches only for the data specified. It filters the search orders that are defined for the Search Parameter that you selected. For example, if Search/Match finds at least one potential matching ID at search order number 10, it will stop the search and display the results obtained at search order number 10. If no potential matching IDs are found, the search continues to the next search order number, and so on. If you want to search using a specific Search Order number, use the Selective Search button for that order number.

The Number of IDs Found field displays the number of IDs that met the search criteria.

  • This number may be smaller than the number of rows returned in the Search Results grid because the grid might include the same ID multiple times.

  • If the name field is included in the search result code selected, the search returns rows for each name type and effective date that match the search criteria entered.

  • If the National ID field is included in the search result code, the search returns rows for each national ID entered for the record matching the search criteria.

12. 

The Search Order Number field indicates the search order number at which results were found and indicates how precise the search was—the lower the number, the more restrictive the search and the greater the chance of having found duplicate IDs. This number can be used as an indicator of how close the returned IDs match the criteria entered.
