Searches Added/Enhanced in Latest Release of Answers
There are so many searches available throughout Answers that it is often hard to notice new ones even though these were added in the version that was released last fall. So we thought we would take this opportunity to list out some key ones that were added new or enhanced in the current version just in case users had not noticed them yet.

If a match is found, the entry will be high-lighted for you. The green arrow allows searching for the next occurrence of the same search criteria if any more exists. Searches are not case sensitive.
