**When building a search in IQX, you can put the criteria on the left or the right hand side of the screen. What is the difference?**
\\ \\
  * The **Left** side of the search screen is for criteria that **must** be met.\\
  * The **Right** hand side of the screen is for listing the variable criteria where you only need any **one** of the criteria to be met.
\\
**For example**: You many be searching for a candidate who **must** be a car owner – this criteria would therefore go on the **left** side of the screen.
\\ \\
However, the candidate can have an address within **either** Herts, Beds, Bucks or London. So you would pull up four Address criteria boxes and drag them onto the **right** side of the screen, placing one address choice in each box.
\\ \\
To make understanding this process easier, we recommend that you always click on the **Hints** button when building a search. This button makes no difference whatsoever to the results of your search. What it does do is lay the screenout in a clearer way by put a dividing line down the middle of the screen and labelling whether the search is looking for **All Of** or **Any Of** the criteria used. Try it and you will find it definitely helps.
