{{Reference guide header|Data search can be achieved by ''running saved searches'', ''using item filters'' or the ''search engine''.
 
An ''item filter'' (land, activity, accident, etc.) returns a list of all corresponding items that were entered in IMSMANG. The results list can be sorted out by paring down the ''filter criteria'' or by ''picking'' other ''column headings''.
 
The ''search engine'' allows for ''search definitions'' that correspond to more than one ''criterion'' and/or ''criteria'' node(s). Search definitions can have ''linked items'' (activities linked to a land, victims linked to an accident, etc.). A ''criterion'' can be defined by paring down its ''attributes'', ''operators'' and ''values''.
 
Searches defined with the search engine can be ''saved'' in the ''search manager''.
