How to use the Search Box

The search box is a new multi-search, which works similar to the way you use the internet search on your computer. The search box has the flexibility to search multiple requests. For example, you could key in part of an address, a set of coordinates, or even a Water or Sewer pipe unique ID if you have one. If searching for an address and street type is used then be sure to use the full street type name. Eg. Enter 'BOULEVARD', not 'BLVD'.
