Using the Speedbar

Perform Google-like searches in Matrix. You can search for listings to tax records; the speed bar reduces the time needed to perform a search.  Enter criteria directly into the Speed Bar.

The Speed Bar accepts two types of input:

• Speed Bar Shorthand: a series of simple codes you enter into the Speed Bar.  Matrix translates your entries into search criteria and runs the corresponding search. Shorthand tips:
  • Combine your Shorthand codes in any order (except for beds and baths)
  • Put spaces between Shorthand codes, not commas
• Speed Bar Shortcuts: To run any Matrix search that you've Saved As a Speed Bar shortcut, enter its name in the Speed Bar and Matrix runs that saved search.
