The search page is comprised out of three types of fields:

• text fields
• dynamic select fields
  • up to 100 items will be rendered in the list at once
  • if more than 100 items exist in the list they will remain hidden until you start typing, at which point the list is instantly filtered and updated with the remaining entries
• widgets with dynamic select fields
  • you can add and remove select fields using the + Add a new item and
    Del
    buttons, respectively.
  • the select fields work in the same way as described above

In the BIOS search page, you will have a few filters which you can apply:

• Manufacturer
  • if selected, it will match all the BIOSes with that manufacturer
• POST string
  • if filled, it matches all BIOSes with that POST string
• Motherboard manufacturer
  • if selected, it will match all the BIOSes where motherboards have that manufacturer
• Chipset
  • if selected, matches all boards which match the chipset criteria
  • multiple behavior options are listed:
    • any [manufacturer] chipset: matches all the boards where the chipset manufacturer = [manufacturer]
    • [manufacturer] unidentified: matches all the boards with this chipset
    • [manufacturer][name][parts]: matches all the boards with this chipset
    • Not identified: matches all the boards which DO NOT have a chipset listed
• BIOS version
  • matches all the BIOSes which have that version
• Core version
  • matches all the BIOSes which have that core version (such as Award 4.51PG, or AMI 040201)
• File name
  • matches all the BIOSes which have that file name
  • note: files stored on TRW have a unique hash in the file name, before the extension, and it will also match that

Note on widgets: a maximum of 6 widgets can be added, due to query complexity constraints, each widget acts like a logical AND for your search filters.

• Expansion chips
  • if added, it will match all the BIOSes whose boards contain that chip
