1 - How do I search on a specific word (e.g. Chief)?
Use the Advanced Search option. When "Search" is clicked, a search is carried out for all entries. You will get a list of all the entries in which that field contain the text entered. To get the exact value, enter the text between quotes (e.g.: "chief").
To search on an empty value, enter quotes with nothing in between (e.g. " ").

In order for the "Show Map" button to work you must make sure that JavaScript is enabled for you browser.

3 - I tried to do a search for all employees using a specific Fax number and I received a message of "No Entries Found". I know of several names that should have appeared? Why did I get the message?

  • For the advance Search form, you must select the check box that specify "Search...only in...".
5 - To search for an employee by phone number, do I have to put in the area code?
No. Any portion of the phone number will do.

No. The search button in the navigation bar at the top of the page will search all the files in AAFC Online. The search in left menu will search the DirectInfo database. Use this option for all your directory queries.
