 ====== Toy Search Page ======
+This Page **DOES NOT** support **Internet Explorer**, many of the mibase Javascript functions cannot run on this platform.  Please use **Google Chrome** OR **Firefox**.
-The Toys search page does advanced searches on keywords in the **toy name**, **user1** (sometimes used to store old toys or changed toy numbers from a previous system), **manufacturer**, **storage**, **keywords**. The search page  also filters on **age**, **location** (for multi-location Libraries),
-Only toys with toy status = **ACTIVE** or **PROCESSING** are displayed on this page.
+The Toys search page does advanced searches of toys with keywords in the **toy name**, **user1** (sometimes used to store old toys or changed toy numbers from a previous system), **manufacturer**, **storage**, **keywords** fields. The search page  also filters on **toy category**, **age**, **location** (for multi-location Libraries), and **attributes**.
+It works the same as the previous version, with subtle differences. You no longer have to press carriage return after entering your keywords in the search box, just start typing and wait. If you tab from the search box it will still filter on these keywords. A click into the search box will clear the contents.
+Only toys with a toy status = **ACTIVE** or **PROCESSING** are displayed on this page.

+or allow for better searching on keywords and to catch all toys than the basic category filters.
+For example you might want to find a construction toy to "Stretch my Brain"
