=== Search for Element Comments ===

==== Objective ====
The '''Search for Element Comments''' function searches, in all selected surveys, the Comment or historical text field, for element comments that match the search text.  It is particularly useful when searching for initials, names or dates in historical elements or graffiti.

==== Processing ====
On the first page you may enter a string of characters in the ''Enter search text or blank for all'' box to search for all elements that have data in the comments field.  It should be noted the search is not case sensitive.  ''Select one or more rock art classes...'' by clicking on the corresponding check boxes or none to select all the rock art classes.
