Combining Multiple Searches
Multiple statements can be used in sequence to find records that match more than one value at a time. The searches are separated by a space, and the keyword should be quote protected. The example below shows the process for searching for Major and class.
Combining Multiple Symbols
Multiple symbols can be used at once as well. In the example below, we're searching for all students with a major that does not contain the phrase "Engineering." This would exclude students who have a major of Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Etc.
