# (5.5) Task Advanced Search

In the previous modules, we have seen 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 specific targeted search. The fields that can be targeted include a date range and any employee information.**(**_**for example, name, department, city, state, job)**_

1. Choose the _**Task**_ module from the main menu on the left side.
2.  Click the _**Advanced Search.**_ &#x20;
