• Address Points TCOMM layer
• Parcel Boundaries layer
  • Site address field
  • Owner address field

Fields (Columns) Being Searched
The Global Search searches multiple fields, but not all the fields. In general only those fields that help narrow down the selection or uniquely identify a feature will be searched. For example, in the parcel boundaries layer, the following fields are searched by the Global Search.

• Parcel number
• Site street address
