Using the search options
This option will allow you to quickly find all regions that relate to your project. Enter the text you wish to search and chose either Exact match or Fuzzy search.
Exact Match Will search for an exact match on the word entered. So for example, entering London would return all relevant areas that relate to London.
Fuzzy Search Will search for alternative spellings, and words that sound the same but are spelled differently.
Once your search options are returned, you can select the specific regions from the list. The example below shows the result of entering an exact match for London.
Selecting Regions from the list
