Searching numbers in a list

To individually search numbers in a list, you must type a space between each number. Acorn searches numbers separated by commas as if the numbers were not separated.

The following examples may help you search numbers in a list:

• Acorn searches 1,2,3,4,5 as a single term.
• Acorn searches 5000 and 5,000 as the same term.
• Acorn searches 1 2 3 4 5 as separate terms.
