Notes:

1. You can always choose to keep the default value of contains in the regular expression-based search, which guarantees the best possible results without any hassle of choosing a regular expression.
2. You can keep all the search fields blank for the search, and in that case, the page displays all the possible search results. Simply put, all the fields in the search are totally optional and any combination of search parameters can be utilized to improve the search results.
3. States and Country available in Search Page
4. Earlier search parameters didn’t include the country and didn’t make states available for user. Now I have included the country parameter in the search form, and included the states as a select option in the drop-down list. Now the search will support country-based search as well.
