Overview: The advanced search tool can be accessed by clicking into the search bar at the top of the site, and clicking “Advanced Search” at the bottom of the drop-down menu. This will allow a user to get much more granular in terms of searching for very specific, niche things within the platform. On the left-hand side, there will be many filters that can be expanded in order to get as granular as a user would like. After selecting them, the results in the middle will be adjusted accordingly. From there, you can click into many different things—including, but not limited to, transaction profiles, company profiles, research/news articles and much more.
Outline of Features and Content: Once entering the Advanced Search screen, a user can select—from the left-hand side—any criteria the user is interested in searching for.
These categories can then be clicked into, in order to get more granular within them. Once a filter is selected, it will be added to the top of the screen in order for the user to keep track of which filters are applied to the search. They can easily be removed by clicking the “x” beside them, or the Clear Filters button. The results can then be selected.
