Dutch term: Uitgebreid zoeken

The words uitgebreid zoeken mean “advanced search” (literally: elaborate search). You will often find the term on websites with genealogical databases where the “uitgebreid zoeken” link will take you to a search form with more options to formulate your query. Beware that most search engines only find exact matches, so don’t fill out too much information.
