The search bar on the main screen allows you to search for towed vehicles. To search, enter the search term and press ENTER.
* TRIP will search the database for both held and released vehicles where any of the following properties *contain* the search term: make, model, plate, VIN, and name of the person who picked up the vehicle.
* Because it searches properties that *contain* the search term, you typically do not need to enter the full word. For example: you can enter "CAM" to search for a Toyota Camry.
* TRIP searches both held and released vehicles, so switching between the two shows the filtered vehicles for both.
{% hint style="warning" %}
Due to the large number of towed vehicles, the search function will only display 100 matching released vehicles at a time. Therefore, it is recommended to use the most specific search criteria possible, such as the license plate number or VIN, to achieve the best results.
