Refine Search
A search history page appears showing a set of records containing the number of records I found with my company name search.
Note that there are quite a number of entries. These can represent different locations for Apple Computer or subsidiaries.
We can restrict our search to the headquarters location using the prefix for special feature (SF=).
The search history page shows that I have refined my search to one entry.
I am now ready to view the record from my search that contains the headquarters location for Apple Computer.
I want to view Set 2. Since I have only one record, I can just click the 
button next to Set 2, or I can enter the TYPE command:
Record
(portions of the record omitted 
)
