   If the session search does not open to Search, click Search in the Search | Classic search switcher in the upper right corner of the user interface.

2. Specify the search scope and criteria by setting values for Session status, App profile, and Session time.
3. You can also place your cursor in the search field and select from the list of search categories that are displayed, or just start typing in the search input field and Search suggests a list of keyword matches.
4. From the suggestions provided, make your selection.
5. Search adds your selection to the search query.
6. You can add another condition to your search by selecting from the list of categories. For example, you might select a SESSION ATTRIBUTE as a category. When you select a category, Search presents a list of values for the category that you selected.
7. Select from the list of values presented. Your selection is added to the query.
8. You can further qualify your search by inputting a name + colon in the search field. For example, you might type “platform:” in the search query field. Based on your input, the Search provides more suggestions.
9. Make your selection and click the Search icon to run your search.

When you search for older sessions, a search can take longer to complete. The table displays results for each day as it is retrieved beginning with the most recent day of your search criteria. You can check the status of your search above the table on the left and you'll get a notification in the Activity list when the search is complete. Return to your search at any time by clicking Activity list and selecting your search. 

Your subscription has a limit on active searches for each user. If you try to begin a session search after that limit is reached, you'll have to either wait for one of the active searches to finish, or pause an in-progress search to begin your search immediately.
