The following search options are available:

• Full-text search
  The full-text search is available when you search for vehicles.
  You can choose between exact search and error-tolerant or fuzzy search.
• Attribute-based search
  If you are searching for vehicles, you can use the following search criteria, for example:
  • Vehicle identification number
  • License plate number
  • Primary or secondary status
  • Customer
  • Division (Brand)
  • In order processing, you can search for the following three attributes:
  • Vehicle identification number
  • License plate number
  • Customer
  • The search for the internal vehicle number can also be performed without TREX.

If you enter multiple criteria, the vehicles must fulfill all of the criteria specified (AND operation); if both are available, you can combine full-text and attribute-based searches.
In an overview, the system displays all of the vehicles found together with vehicle data. From this overview, depending on which transaction you are currently using, you can either branch to the vehicle master record for the vehicle selected (vehicle search), or process an existing order or create a new order (order processing). If the system finds only one vehicle when searching for vehicles, the relevant vehicle master record is displayed automatically.
In category management, you can form categories, that is, groups of vehicles whose similarities are defined by certain rules. These rules are evaluated during the vehicle search. You can define exactly which vehicles you want to be displayed for which dealers. For further information, see component Vehicle Management System (VMS) under Vehicle Search > Vehicle Search Areas > Define Vehicle Categories.
