   • ​​When doing a Fielded Search, the default field option will be 'All fields'. I recommend changing it to 'Topic' before entering your keywords. The field can be changed using the drop-down menu.
   • You can either:
     • enter your keywords into one box using the appropriate boolean operator (AND, OR, NOT) or
     • add additional rows and then terms and fields, selecting the appropriate boolean operator (AND, OR, NOT) to connect the rows
