# (1.3) Advanced search with Key Combination

&#x20;         In the previous modules, we saw the simple keyword search which looks for the search text anywhere in a record. In contrast, an advanced search can be narrowed to result in an exact match. Limiting the fields allows for a more targeted search. The fields that can be targeted include date range and any employee information, ***for example Name, City, Service year, Education, Job, State, Religion, Age, Join Date(Date Range), Marital Status, Gender, employment Status, department and etc.)***.&#x20;

&#x20;     Any combination of search keys can be used in the Employee Module.
