Maybe:
"Set your query using the compound name in conjunction with a local operator
(Not,
Contains/Exactly). The query can only find entries that match your
criteria."

this is cross-posted....
I do not like using the term 'search criteria' in the following
sentence. Can anybody offer me any suggestions?
"Use the compound name in conjunction with a local operator (Not,
Contains/Exactly) to establish search criteria. The entries that are
retrieved must match your search criteria. "
