Searching with Keywords 

When searching for People records, you may search for all records with one or more keywords under the Group section.  

You may also use keywords to hide certain records when searching by entering those keywords you wish to exclude under the Suppression section. You can search for general keywords or you can search “Supp: Having All Keywords” which will suppress results that have all the listed keywords in the field.
