Search App Header (Advanced)
Displayed at the top of the Search app, the Search header includes controls that allow you to create and execute a term-based search, or to refine the parameters of an existing search.
When you click the Advanced button for the first time in a new session, a default search term or “pill” is displayed in the left side of the Search header. You can add text to this field, add more terms to narrow your search, or delete all custom terms to create a search based solely on filters that you select in the sidebar. If you add more than one term type, each is displayed in the Search header with a randomly selected color.
The following illustration and table describe the controls that are available in the Search header.

Using the Query Mode Button
The Search app displays all terms in the Search header in a compact view by default in which each term is displayed as an individual "pill". The Compact view hides the granular details that are included in each term. If you prefer to see all terms with their full details, you can click the Query Mode button to switch to Form view. The following illustration shows an example search in Form view.
When in this view, terms are always displayed in edit mode. After you exceed five rows of data, a vertical scroll bar appears to the right side of the form window.
If you prefer Form view over the default Compact view, you can change your default preference in the User Settings. For more information, see User Settings.
