In a record-based search, a record will be returned if any contact or combination of contacts can satisfy the search's criteria.

In a record-based search, a record will be returned if any contact or combination of contacts can satisfy the search's criteria.

• A. Any contact or combination of contacts in the record can satisfy the search's criteria
• B. All contacts in the record must satisfy the criteria
• C. The record's primary contact must satisfy the criteria
• D. The search must include a contact-based filter

Answer: (A)

Records are returned when at least one contact within the record matches the search criteria, or when a combination of contacts within that same record collectively satisfies it. This means the search uses OR logic across the contacts: you don’t need every contact to fit the criteria, just one (or a set that together meets the requirements). If a single contact has the needed attributes, the record qualifies; alternatively, different contacts can contribute different parts of the criteria and still count as a match. This avoids being too strict by requiring all contacts to satisfy the criteria, or limiting the match to only the primary contact. It also isn’t about whether the search itself includes a contact-based filter—the focus is on when a record is considered a match.
