Find a product

To find a product, you have the choice of two search methods: quick and advanced. For the quick find, enter information into all the fields for a selected search option. In the advanced find, you can enter information in any combination of the search fields.

Search results display in the Search Results table which you can sort by clicking on a column heading. From this table, you can retrieve complete product details, see available inventory and attributes, and compare two or more products. If you are searching for a product from within the Order editor, you can add products to the order from this page.
