Q: Will there be improvements to the search functionality, and what enhancements can users expect?
A: The following Search enhancements were deployed to Production Simulation (Prod Sim, or CARES100) on August 29, 2026:
- The Person and RM (Resource Management) Directory Search now use the “And” operator instead of “Or,” resulting in more precise and narrowed search results.
- In Person Search, the “Sex at Birth” and “Approximate Age” criteria are now fully functional. Phonetic search for first and last names has also been enabled to make it easier to locate the intended individual. Previously reported performance issues, where searches took up to 2 minutes to return results, have been resolved.
- In RM Directory Search, multi-select capability for placement category types is now available.
