Tips for Searching

• If you enter text with no spaces or commas, the search will attempt to match the student's first name, middle name, or last name using a "sounds like" matching scheme.
• If you enter only numeric numbers, the search will return the student with a matching Student ID (the Student ID must be an exact match).
• If you enter text separated by spaces, the student database is searched for each entry for student first name, middle name, and last name using a "sounds like" matching scheme.
• If you type two entries separated by a comma, the search will attempt to match the first entry to last names and the second entry to first names. Adding a comma in the search string forces an "exact" matching scheme. For example, to match a last name exactly, enter the last name followed by a comma.
