{{Reference guide header|
In addition to basic searches, you can use the map pane to search inside or outside a geographical area. This can be particularly useful if you are working within a specific region, and wish to use visual landmarks or organisational boundaries to limit your search. It is also useful if you want to run a larger search but exclude a specific region – such as a previously discovered hazard site – from the results.

To add map criteria to a search:
<ol>
<li>Click the [[Image:FieldTemplateIcon.png]] button to add an attribute to an existing search definition.</li>
<li>From the attribute list, select '''Geospatial Information'''.</li>
<li>From the operator list, select:</li>
* '''Inside''' to search within a selected map area.
* '''Outside''' to search outside a selected map area.
<li>Click the [[Image:FieldTemplateIcon.png]] button.</li>
<li>Navigate to the area on the map pane where you wish to search.</li>
<li>Click the [[Image:FieldTemplateIcon.png]] button.</li>
