Assisted Search templates • The Power Search template, used for the previous search, is the primary search template, enabling you to search across any type of source, and allowing you to browse the Source Directory of over 36000 sources, by which you can create your own source. • Additionally the service offers some assisted search templates in which you can search across some larger groupings of default sources, but this time specific to a general type of product. These are global in nature and the advantage of using them is that the whole search template is designed for that type of product. • You will find the assisted search templates via the Red banner tabs… Please note Public Records is only available for US users.
