Screen shot of results returned for "first name" entered in Search field.
	"first name" is a common phrase found in many tables so many results are returned. There are more than 900 tables in the Talent Management database, with many fields in each one. When searching, use more specific phrases or keywords to narrow results. Notice the User result for our search has a Select a specific context drop-down. This list contains non-standard ways that the User object could join to other items. In the case of the User object, non-standard means any join that does not use hua_user_id.
Select a specific context Drop-Down	Notice the User result for our "first name" search has a Select a specific context drop-down. This list contains non-standard ways that the User object could join to other items. In the case of the User object, non-standard means any join that does not use hua_user_id. The "first name" search results in many options. When you use a more specific search phrase, you narrow the options here as well.
Narrow Results With Specific Search Phrases and Keywords	The more specific your search phrase, the more narrow, and useful, your results. If we refine the search to narrow our results by entering “hiring manager” and “st name” in the Search field, the search results include both Firstname and Lastname in the User table, and because we added “hiring manager”, the User drop-down now only contains two possible contexts for us to choose from to select a specific context.
