- Exclamation Mark (!) = Searches for everyone who has no data in this field.
- Asterisk(*) + Text = Treats the asterisk as a wildcard. For instance, you could search for all people with a last name starting with "Sm" by searching the last name field for "Sm*"

When searching a date field you have three options to search by (Range, Date, Relative):
- Range allows you to put in specific dates to search between.
- Date allows you to search a date field by a specific date, specific month or specific year. For example if you are looking for all the birthdays in March you would use Date and select the month of March, leaving the date and year selection as "Any".
- Relative allows you to search date fields for dates relative to the current day. For example if you had a field called depart for mission trip, and you collected the dates of when people are scheduled to depart for mission trips you could search for within the last 30 days to see all people who have left on trips in the last 30 days, or you could use within the next 90 days to search all the people leaving on trips in the next 90 days from the current date.
Here is an example of searching for everyone in the database without an email address (using the "!") and then again with an email address (using the "*"):
