Advanced Search searches for features based on criteria that the user specifies.  You can search for something simple like a block and lot, or more complex like all of the roads maintained by Montgomery Township that were built since 1994.  Advanced searches are one of the most powerful features of the map viewer.  It allows you to find the desired information without zooming, panning, and clicking all over the map.  Search results can also be saved for future use.

1. Click "Advanced Search"
2. Select a search type from the drop down menu.  Each Map Tab has different searches created.
3. If you place your mouse over the tip button, some information will be displayed that will help define the search.
4. Each search field is different.  This is a listing of the different types of search fields:

• Combo Box - user can only choose from a pre-selected list of choices.  Click on pull down arrow and scroll through list until you find the desired search choice.  Some combo box choice are dependent on the previous combo box selection.  An example is block and lot.  Once you have chosen a block number, only the lot numbers in that block will be available.
• Lookup - user only needs to enter e few characters (usually 3), and then click on the lookup button to obtain any values that meet the partial value entered.
• Expressions - user select the expression types from the left combo box (ie. Equal to or Greater Than), and then chooses the expression value (ie. all lots with a Record Acres Greater Than 2).  Only enter the number in the expression value.  Do not enter descriptors or units like Acres.

5. Once you have made the desired choices, click on "map it" to retrieve the desired records from the map.  You will see the selected features on the map shown by highlighting or stars, depending on the scale of the map.  The map will zoom to a scale that will allow you to see all of the selected features.  The less features that are selected and the closer spacing of features, will allow to map viewer to zoom in to a closer scale, and allow the selected features to be viewed more clearly.
6. The selection box located to the right of the map viewer will also display the selected features.  You select on the desired feature and click on the "view details" button to see more information about the feature selected.  You can only view details for one feature at a time.
