TAGS feature lets you quickly populate the dataview with multiple terms perfectly suited to many
searches.

The TAGS feature can also be used to quickly add simple or more elaborate search criteria to the dataview.
The workflow for adding tags is identical, the only change being that instead of pressing ENTER (which
would post a Memo entry) one presses the SEARCH or GO TO button instead as desired.
Of course, with the TAGS button on the Control Surface off, the Control Surface supports direct numeric
entry.

supply. Thus an exact match of every element of the search criteria is not required. Your search criteria
