After you select the source, the Add Sections box will appear below. Type your terms in the box. For the example above, the date term was "= 11/11/2006"
Click the blue button to add this section and term set to your search. You may add as many sets to your search as you wish. Each time you click "Add to Search", the Power Search form will automatically add an "AND" between sets.
