  2. Click the search button Search icon on the toolbar.
  3. In the search box, type the phrase you want to search for.
  4. Click Advanced.
  5. In the Search for type box, click the type of entry to search for.
  6. To refine your search further, use the options in the Refine by column, for example, Type, Owner, or Creation Date.

    The options that are available to you to refine your search depend on the search privileges granted by your administrator.
