Click on the Find button to display the Find drop down selection of tools.

A Find Features search can only be carried out on fields stored as a character datatype, not numeric.


Click on the Find Features tab and the Find Features selection window is displayed.

Click on the drop down list and select the category that you wish to perform a search for.

The entries in the list will be determined by the map Layers that have this functionality enabled.


Now enter your search criteria in the box provided and click Go.

For our example we selected Primary Schools with search criteria of ‘ladysmith’.

The results are listed in the Information Browser and the numbered results displayed on the map.

To clear your query click the Clear search results button link on the Find Features tab.
