To search against specific forum fields, enter the field name followed by a colon and then the search term. The field names are shown in the table of column views. See Message list views.
When using field names, the search engine will try to match the entered field name against the full field names. For example, the full field name for the traded crude column is tradedcrude. If you type a search query of crude: nemba, the first field name will be matched against this field because crude is a substring of tradedcrude. You could alternatively type tradedcrude: nemba to match the field name completely.
Similarly, it is possible to search against custom column names when using the Quick Filter. In the Cargoes List, if you have configured a column named API to show the cargo constituent API you can search API < 40 to find cargoes with an API of less than 40.
