I only see the one search box at top left of my screen. There used to another search box on the left side of the screen and you could apply filters there. How do I get that back, or is it gone now?

unless you mean the advanced filters? if so click the view all at the bottom of the search

Then you’ll get the option of advanced filters on the next screen

Sorry I found that the screen was full sized and covering the advance search pane. It was making me crazy! All good now. The expand and shrink box was difficult to see ar first.

Thanks for your help.
