# Account Search Tips

Account Search is a powerful tool that enables you to quickly locate accounts within the system. Here's how to access and use it effectively:

## Accessing Advanced Search

There are two options to access account search:

**Option 1:** Go to Accounts → Search

### Refining Your Search

The advanced search page provides various search fields, including account, demographic, forwarding, and custom fields. Utilize these fields to narrow down your search based on specific criteria.

### Maximizing Search Results

To increase the likelihood of finding the desired account, we recommend minimizing the number of search parameters. Adding more criteria reduces the chances of finding a match. If you encounter too many results, return to the search screen to refine and narrow down your search further.

### Using Wildcard Search

If you don't know the exact spelling of a name or address, employ wildcards (* or %) in the Demographic Options section of the Account Search Screen. For instance, entering "Jo*" in the first name field and "Smith" in the last name field will retrieve all accounts with the last name "Smith" and first name starting with "Jo."

### Quick Search

For a swift search experience, utilize the field search located at the top of the screen, just below the menu. Enter your search query in the provided field to obtain instant results.
