Ok...so another post from me...newb to the online version, andso far hating every bit of it, mostly...

But i'm used to very powerful search funcions in my previous inventory mgmt software that we gave up....for THIS...

But i need to know how to effectively search part# and within descriptions with more than just 1 key word, or 2 key words...

for example...

I have hundreds of items that may say

"TP-Link Switch..." all at the beginning of teh description, but some will then say 48-pt with PoE, 2 SFP ports, and others that might say 24-pt with poe, 2 sfp ports, or some that might be 4-pt (WITHOUT THE POE OR TEH SFP but instead might say "managed?

So if i'm looking for a "switch 48 poe managed" QBO RETURNS NOTHING.  When clearly there are items that contain that combination of text, just not necessarily strung together that way or in that exact  order...

So how in the heck can i master searching when the descriptions or part#'s are farily complicted with various potential key words and hundres of variations, such that pulling up TP-link and just scrolling through whatever comes up would NOT WORK...plus teh descriptions are oversized and can't even see them all to know which i'd be selecting...

Who if anyone can help me with this...

I'm used in my old system to be able to say "tp-link%48%sfp%managed" and as long as some of all of those key words were SOMEWHERE in the desc or part# i'd get good results... NO SUCH LUCK IN QB so far tho
