Advanced Search
When this control is maximised or expanded, a larger version of the Search Control is loaded.
The panel is a “two-tab” panel, with the active tab labelled, “Search Parameters” and the inactive tab labelled, “Search Results” as illustrated in the examples here →
This means that the panel itself will contain its own results once the search has been completed, allowing you to easily switch back and forth between the parameters and the results.
Search Parameters
Search parameters in the form are grouped into sections. Those sections may be expanded or collapsed by the user. The first section however has no group header since it is the most important, defining the context of the search itself.
Search For - Choose the search context from this drop down box.

When you pick a context, the search parameters update accordingly.
