1. From here, there are three ways to search. 1. Enter a keyword and click the green search icon. 2.
Click the Browse tab at the top menu. Or 3. Press the Search tab at the top menu.
2. If you do the keyword search, it will pull up any record with that keyword you typed in. Try to be
specific as there may be a lot of results otherwise. For the example below the term South
Windsor was searched and there are 49,847 results. You can sort results by Relevance, Name,
Date Created, or Date Modified.
3. If you click Browse a list of Departments will appear that you choose one from to help narrow
down your search results.
4. Each Department will have different folders, for example at the time of writing this on 11/23/21
the Town Clerk has no records while Sewer Assessment has 1,533 Entries.
5. From there you can scroll until you find the file you want. If there are a lot of Entries to scroll
through then the Keyword Search option may be a better choice. Once you click on the file you
want you can then view or download it. In the example below, we clicked on Building – Street
Files – ABAR LANE 14 Abar Ln – street file. You can download the file by pressing the download
icon in the top right corner.
6. If you click Search at the top menu, it will bring you to a page for advanced/custom searching to
help further narrow down your results. From here you can click Customize Search and choose
different ways to search like Name, Tags, or Field. By default, the General Search bar will
appear. Ignore the bar underneath that says Records Management.
7. Any time you choose a new Search option, it will appear
on the left column, to remove them press the X on the
right.
8. Click the green Submit button to see if any results are
returned. If nothing is returned then maybe your search
terms are too narrow and need to be broader or the item
in question is not available.
To start a new search the easiest way is to press the Town
Seal in the top left corner to go back to the main page and
then choose from one of the three ways to search again.
