    4. Search: Specify a search term.

    5. Filters: Use the search filters to build complex searches. The filter options change based on many criteria. For example, if you have selected a specific organization for search, the filter options will be limited to the organization. When you are creating advanced searches from the Organization profile page - Resources, Collections, Glossary tabs, you will see only the filter options that are relevant to the specific tab you are on.

      Tip

      • Use the None of the following option to exclude the results you don't want to see. For example, you could use this option to search for all the datasets in your organization that are not in Approved status.

      • Use the All of the following options to include results which meet all of the specified criteria. For example, you could use this option to search for resources that are tagged as Agriculture and Atmosphere.

For example, if you want to find all resources in your organization with the term sales training that do not have any status and do not belong to specific collections, create the following search query.
