Build a search from criteria on the Full tab, such as every residential block in a suburb between four hundred and seven hundred square metres. Each row of the form is one condition made of a field, a comparator and a value. A property has to meet every row to be in the results.

• Open Properties from the main menu and click the Full sub-tab.

Add the criteria

1. On the first row, choose the Field. Start with Suburb. As soon as a field is chosen, an empty row is added below it for the next condition.
2. Choose the Comparator. For a suburb, choose equals. The list changes with the field. A number field offers less than, greater than and is between. A text field offers contains and starts with. A list field such as Zone offers is one of and includes all of.
3. Enter the Value. Type the suburb name in full.
4. On the second row, choose Area, the comparator is between, and enter Value 1 and Value 2 in square metres. A block has to fall inside the two numbers to match.
5. On the third row, choose Zone, the comparator is one of, and pick the zone or zones you want. A property matches if it has any of them.

Choose the right comparator

• includes, on Lot / Plan number, finds a lot or plan inside a legal description without you typing the whole description.
