Yes! Using multiple search fields is an excellent way to narrow down your search. But, relevant matches may be excluded if the criteria for a relevant match is increased. Below are some examples which illustrate how the ID and Location fields impact results based on differences in search parameters and watchlist records.
Full Name + Location
You may have a partial name match, but including Location and ID will narrow down results because only results with an exact Location and exact ID match will be shown.
