-==== Conducting searches ​====+PIMS LS provides multiple ways to search slides which have been indexed by a PMA.core. Clicking the "​Toggle Search Panel" button opens up the search panel.\\ 
 +Here you can search for slides within the selected PMA.core server. 
 + 
 +The Search panel can be activated from the home tab: 
 + 
 +{{:​search_3.0.png?​direct |}} 
 + 
 +==== Searching Filenames ​==== 
 + 
 +To conduct a search you need to select a PMA.core server from the dropdown list.\\ 
 +By default the currently logged in PMA.core server is selected. \\ 
 + 
 +{{ :​searchslide.png?​direct |}} 
 + 
 + 
 +The default search term is '​Slide'​ and '​Path'​ which will search the paths / filenames for something matching the value you type in to the text box. 
 + 
 +====Searching Form Results==== 
 + 
 +By clicking on the first dropdown menu (default:​Slide) you will open a dropdown menu which will allow you to select a Form to search instead of a Slidename. 
 + 
 +When you select a form, in the second dropdown menu you will see the different questions in the form for you to select for your search 
 + 
 +{{ :​searchform.png?​direct |}} 
 + 
 +Now you can type the value you are looking for into the search value box, and running the search will find slides that have that result. 
 + 
 +====Multiple Search Conditions==== 
 + 
 +By clicking 'Add condition'​ you can define a second term to your search: 
 +  * For example, lets say you wanted to search for a file in "Study X" with a HER2 score of 2+ 
 +  * You could define search term 1 as Slide Path "Study X", and search term 2 as HER2 form -> HER2 score "​2+"​ 
 +  * The search would bring back only slides with "Study X" in the name and a result of 2+ in the HER2 form, HER2 status question 
 + 
 +{{ :​conduct_search.png?​direct |}} 
 + 
 +====AND vs OR: Logical Operators==== 
 + 
 +By default the AND logical operator is selected.  
 + 
 +When AND is selected, the search will only bring up results that match ALL search conditions. 
 + 
 +However, you can change the logical operator to "​OR"​. This will fetch results that meet ANY of the search terms you have put in. 
  
 ==== Interpreting results ==== ==== Interpreting results ====
  
-==== Refining ​search commands ​and troubleshooting ​====+Once you have selected search conditions and press "​Search"​ a list of results will appear if found. \\ 
 +The results consists of "​Folder",​ "Slide name" and the "Load to grid" button which loads the selected slide to the viewport 
 + 
 +{{:​search-results.png?​direct&​600|}} 
 + 
 + 
 +==== Refining ​Search Commands ​and Troubleshooting ​==== 
 + 
 +The search panel lets you select multiple forms or slide paths and apply conditions to get the desired results. \\ 
 +You can add or remove conditions at will using the "​remove"​ button.
  
-==== Integration with PMA.search ====+{{:​refine_search.png?​direct&​600|}}
  
 +**Please note: search only works on information that is indexed by PMA.core. If you cannot search something that you believe you should be able to, please contact your administrator.**
