Searching
Specific text terms can be searched for in various fields. Click on the search icon in the Action Bar. Enter the text for the search and select the fields to be searched. Multiple search terms can be specified by separating them with blanks. All terms must be present in the matched text. A search term can be ‘negated’ by prepending it with a ‘-‘. The matched text will not contain the negated terms.
Team Information includes the team number, nickname, sponsors, location motto and award history. Selecting notes will search notes for all teams. The search results will indicate the team, field that matched and the context of the matched terms. Touching a row in the search result will take you to the team.
Judges in Review Mode will have an extra search option. They can search for words in Interview Rubrics for all periods. Touching a row in the results will select that period and phase, just as if that information was selected in the Period Selection menu.
