Search Tips• Remember that current and non-current media is the
search default; you will need to deselect current in the advanced search drop down if you are only looking for non-current media/machine models.
• Don’t forget that All Languages is the language default. If you want to search for another language, you will need to change the language in the advanced search drop down.
• If you are having trouble searching non-current machine models, try putting the model in the quick search and using the advanced search to narrow down your results.
