Use the Quick Link menu to view a specific question.
To create search parameters, use CTRL+Click to select (or de-select) as many questions and/or response choices as you want results to include.
Then, click the "Search!" button at the bottom of the page.

The query works as follows: It selects ALL Jurisdictions, with MUH Policies, that have the selected parameters as true. For instance, if you select both YES and NO on Question 45 you will see the results of all policies that answered either YES or NO to that question. If the search includes more than one response choice per question, the results will include jurisdictions that match ANY of those parameters (an OR search). If the search includes selections from more than question, the results will only include jurisdictions with policies that include ALL of the search parameters (an AND search). So be sure to clear your search after you get results; otherwise they won't provide what you are looking for.
