You can search for specific items in the catalog using the keyword search function by clicking Product Search, then Keyword Search. The keyword search function is very powerful and allows you to search through the entire catalog for very specific products and items. You can enter a SKU; you can enter a product name. You can even search by attributes like color and size!
To further enhance the power of the keyword search function, we allow you to filter your search as needed:
o All - Results will match on ALL words in search criteria.
o Any - Results will match on ANY word in search criteria.
o Exact - Results will match on the EXACT phrase in the search criteria.
o Search only contract items.
You also may sort your search results by:
o Rank Order - Matching items will be ordered by their search ranking.
o Product Category
Hint: Enter part of your search criteria and follow it with a star (*) to return all items matching that criteria (for example, entering Be* finds all terms that start with and include this pattern, such as Beckett, Beet, White No-Bend, Madero Beach-Vellum, etc.) to all search criteria, any search criteria or an exact match to what they entered. You can also restrict their search to only contract items.
Enter a word or phrase in the Search For field and select a filtering option. As a default, the search function will attempt to find a match on all the words that were entered.
