Search Tab Tips

Use one search line or section at a time.
For the Specific Land Use Application Search, enter search criteria on one line only and click the adjacent Search button. The program responds to the Search button for one line only. The program looks for search criteria on the line with the Search button you click, and ignores search entries on other lines.
File Number – The search shown below, by File Number . . .

. . . finds this application, and the program displays the detail tab for the application:

Application Name – Generally the name reflects the location for the application, or the owner.

Use either of the following to search:

Start your search entry with the first characters of an Application Name. For example, to search for names that start with Willamette, if you type Will the program returns results that start the Application Name with Willagillespie, Willakenzie, Willamette, Willcox, Williams and Willow.
Use a percent sign ( % ) as a "wild card" to begin your search string.

For example, a search with glass returns no results (in May, 2008).

However, if you type %glass the search returns names that include glass :
