<li>Specify search options clicking the <img alt="Search Options icon" src="../images/advanced_settings_icon.png" /> icon next to the data entry field and checking the necesary options:
<ul>
<li><b>Case sensitive</b> - is used to find only the occurrences typed in the same case as your inquiry (e.g. if your inquiry is 'Editor' and this option is selected, such words as 'editor' or 'EDITOR' etc. will not be found).</li>
<li><b>Entire cell contents</b> - is used to find only the cells that do not contain any other characters besides the ones specified in your inquiry (e.g. if your inquiry is '56' and this option is selected, the cells containing such data as '0.56' or '156' etc. will not be found).</li>
