A Search Example using advanced search

In the example above I added ‘Petone’, i.e. Petone Baptist.
If I want to see all records I’d:
- Select the ‘enter’ key on my keyboard or
- Select the right facing arrow button.
However, if I wanted to see just one of the items on the drop down list, then I’d select that item and then run my search.
