## Advanced Search

The **Advanced search dialog** has a tab dedicated to Local Code Systems.

Advanced search can be filtered according to the following properties.

* **Code** and **Term**
* **Status** (Active or Inactive)
* **Alternative Term**

Users can also select the Local Code System to search within. If the selected Local Code System has additional properties, clicking on the **`Add Property`** button will list all the available additional properties of that Local Code System. From there additional properties can be selected as search criteria, which then can be populated with values to look for.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.b2ihealthcare.com/snow-owl-authoring-platform/local-code-systems/searching.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
