| align="left" | '''Navigation and map display''' || align="left" | Search for items by a specific ID

These searches are generally simpler than the other kinds of searches and are designed to return records that users can browse through to find the necessary data. || align="left" | Search for items by type

Reporting searches are typically more complicated than navigation searches since they are intended to return a set of records to populate a report directly without any additional user interaction. These searches can also be saved and run independently of reports and used for browsing data. Data quality analysis searches help identify possible data problems and ensure that programme-specific workflow steps are being followed. These searches can be used to help protect data integrity.
| align="left" | Report on clearance efforts
| align="left" | Find all hazard reductions activities where the type = “Progress Report” and the status = “Completed” and the dates are between January 1 and February 1
| align="left" | The date range
|-
| align="left" | Report on hazards lands cleared by an organisation| align="left" | Find all hazards lands that are linked to hazard reductions activities whose type = “Clearance” and the organisation = “XYZ Org”
| align="left" | Mine Action Area Type
|-
| align="left" | Search for all hazards lands with AP mines| align="left" colspan="2" | Find all active hazards lands with antipersonnel mines or that have clearances linked to them that have found antipersonnel mines
|-
| align="left" | Data quality checks
| align="left" colspan="2" | Find all hazards lands whose status is “Worked On” with no active hazard reductionsactivities
Find all clearances that are not linked to a hazardland
Find all victims with no link to accident
Following these three steps, users can build searches as simple or as complex as the examples below:
*find hazards lands with an ID of “MF-101”
*find victims who are children and were injured in 2010
*find progress reports about work done by XYZ organization on hazards lands in Province ABC between 2008 and 2010*find all clearances completed on hazards lands with antipersonnel mines
When a search is designed, it can be given a name and description and then saved for later use. Saving a search saves the criteria of the search rather than the search results. This means that searches are automatically updated when additional data is added to the system, ensuring that searches return the most up-to-date data. For example, an information manager can build a search called “Open Hazards” Lands” that finds 25 hazards lands with a status of “Open.” If 10 additional hazards lands are entered into the system with a status of “Open,” the search would find 35 records when it is run again. In this way, searches are dynamically updated as data is added to the system, allowing information managers to assess data trends over time using consistent search criteria. Information managers can also use an existing search as a template to create other searches by using the “Save as” functionality.
