For the beginner or for rather simple tasks, Pearson's Crystal Data offers a quick
search dialog with the most prominent search fields on one page, for enhanced searches,
there is a multiple page dialog to enter the selection criteria.
For every database field you can of course manually enter a value, but it is more
comfortable to select one or more values from a list of available values. Text or
integer fields appear in a list, like the example below with the quick search dialog
with a quest dialog to search for authors' names, here sorted for entry counts:

to search for atomic enviroment (type)s (AET) with a list of available atomic environment
types and their counts (here: number of atom sites - not entries - with that AET):

Note: If you search for atomic environments, you can give additional restrictions
concerning elements for central atom as well as for the atoms in the enviroment
and a distance range.
For numeric values, a histogram of all available values is given in the quest dialog
to select a range from, e.g. to search for cell volume:
