The Advanced tab provides more advanced options than the Simple tab, such as the Raw Query
Editor ability to add multiple rows of search criteria parameters.
To add a row to Search For section, click the Plus button (+) provided at the end of the last row.
The Plus button will change to a Minus button, which can be used to remove a row from the
Search For section.
The Raw Query Editor lets you view and/or modify the raw search criteria text.

Tip: You can set up a complex search, select the text in the Raw Query Editor box, copy that text
into a mail story and send it to another user so they can execute the same complex search.
If using the Raw Query Editor, you should be familiar with syntax and operators used in Find All
searches, since they are the same for defining raw queries. For instance, the following characters
are used for the operators: And, Or, And Not, and Has Not.
Parentheses are used to specify evaluation order. For instance, you want to search for stories that
mention either Hillary or Bill Clinton, but you only want stories that do not also mention their
daughter, Chelsea.
You could enter:
(Hillary & Clinton) | (Bill & Clinton) &!(Chelsea)
The combination &! accomplishes the same thing as the caret symbol (^) would in a query.
Another example is a query that searches for stories about domestic policies or domestic agenda,
but not domestic abuse. In this example the query might be written this way:
(domestic & agenda) | (domestic & policy) ^ (domestic & abuse)
An asterisk (*) may be used as a wildcard for partial spellings, such as airp* to find stories with
words such as airport, airplane, and airplay.
