CLIFF provides predefined searches for frequently used searches. These searches are available from the menu option in the CLIFF toolbar:

In addition to the predefined searches, CLIFF provides the following searches.
- Keyword Search -- CLIFF automatically generates keywords for key fields in the Log and provides a keyword search to quickly find the Logs containing the specified keywords.
- Log Search -- a form based search which allows you to search for content in specific fields of the Log.
- Referral Search -- a form based search which allows you to search for content in specific fields of the Referral.
- Search for History -- normally used during data entry to see if an author has ever communicated with you in the past.
- Advanced Search -- build complicated searches on almost any data in Logs and Referrals. Searches may be saved for execution at another time or used in conjunction with the custom report generator.
