All list views have search fields which can be used to search data.
You can search for a complete word or you can search for a part of a search term.
If you enclose two or more words in double quotes, LOVD will search for the combination of those words only exactly in the order you specify.
Note that search terms are case-insensitive and that wildcards such as * are treated as normal text!
For all options, like "and", "or", and "not" searches, or searching for prefixes or suffixes, see the table below.

To sort on a certain column, click on the column header or on the arrows.
If that column is already selected to sort on, the sort order will be swapped.
The column currently sorted on has a darker blue background color than the other columns.
The up and down arrows next to the column name indicate the current sorting direction.
When sorting on any field other than the default, LOVD will sort secondarily on the default sort column.
