Incentive Products Database Search Tips

Product Searching Tips

• Be specific with your keyword search. If you're looking for candy, don't search for food.
• When you type more than one keyword into the search, the connecting word "and" is used by default ("All Words"). For example, if you typed "chrome frame" the search would look for products that have the both the word "chrome" and the word "frame" in the product description. You can also select "Any Words" (or) or "Exact Phrase" to get different results.
• The new Extended Search allows you to search over several product options (stock art, packaging, decoration methods and more) in addition to the product information. For instance, if a product has a jungle theme background available, searching for the keyword "jungle" and checking the Extended Search box will find the product. Even if the word "jungle" is not in the product description or name. The Extended Search will only work when a keyword is included. To search for product colors, shapes or materials, use the Advanced Search fields.
• When using the hint enabled Category field, please select a full category name from the suggested list. Using a partial category name will likely return no results. Pressing the space bar when the field is empty will turn off the hint box.
• If your Advanced Search does not find any products that match, you may have been too specific on your search. If you search for red megaphones, union made, made in the US, production time one day, price less than $2.00 you may be limiting yourself. Try taking out some of the criteria and attempt your search again.
• Products must meet all the criteria you enter in the Advanced Search to be returned. If you add Color: red, Four Color Process and material: leather to your search, the products returned must have all those options.
