# Simple search In a basic search, only elements are searched, and only some of their fields typically (*name, note, alias, etc.*). The user can also choose whether to search - *Exact match* - searches only for elements that match the search phrase - *Case-sensitiv*e - case-sensitive (*only works if the EA database is CaseSensitive*) [![simple.png](https://doc.eainfoport.cz/uploads/images/gallery/2022-05/scaled-1680-/simple.png)](https://doc.eainfoport.cz/uploads/images/gallery/2022-05/simple.png) - - - - - - In the "*Phrase*" field, the user types the element to be searched. If the user wants an exact match, he checks the "*Exact Match*" box and/or if he wants case sensitive, he checks the "*Case Sensitive*" box and clicks the "*Search*" button.
