 1. Once in the database, the first step is to select the region to download ground motions (Figure 2).
    Currently, the San Francisco Bay Area (SFBA) is available as a region, and Greater Los Angeles Area

+After selecting the region, the next window allows the user to search for ground motions across multiple realizations and multiple parameters . Several points to consider when using the Search are listed below:

+- Users can select any number of realizations of interest; at least one realization must be selected. 
+  Each *realization* represents a unique earthquake, and it is recommended that users make themselves familiar with all the 50 realizations, details of which are provided in the file [`Simulations_Flatfile.xlsx`](Simulations_Flatfile.xlsx).
+
+- All search parameters are initially deactivated. Users can activate the parameters of interest using the Switch buttons (Figures 3-6). 
+  At least one parameter must be activated for the search, and users can utilize as many parameters as needed. For example:
+  - Figure 3 shows a search for all ground motions in Realizations 1 and 2, and Realizations with patches 4 and 5 within a region defined by latitude boundaries of $37.68^{\circ}$ and $37.72^{\circ}$ and longitude boundaries of $-122.30^{\circ}$ and $-121.90^{\circ}$.
+  - Figure 4 shows a search for all ground motions in the same region, but only those with $\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{s} 30}$ between $300 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ and $500 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$.
+  - Figure 5 shows a search for all ground motions in the same region but only those with $\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{s} 30}$ between $300 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ and $500 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$, and $\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{jb}}$ between 10 km and 20 km .
+  - Figure 6 shows a search for all ground motions with PGV between $0.8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ and $1.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ in Realizations 1-10, and Realizations with Patches 1-10.
+
+- If a user wants to search for a specific location, such as the site of a building or a bridge, they should set the maximum latitude equal to the minimum latitude and the maximum longitude equal to the minimum longitude. This search finds ground motions at the locations closest to the specified coordinates. The distances between the specified location and the locations of the identified motions are provided in a summary file titled "Distance Results."
+- Search parameters are described in {ref}`parameters`.

+=================

+- Latitude and longitude: Geographical coordinates.
+- $\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{s} 30}$ : The time averaged shear wave velocity to 30 m depth.
+- $\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{jb}}$ : Joyner-Boore distance, shortest horizontal distance from the site to the vertical projection of the rupture, $\mathrm{R}_{\text {rup }}$ : Closest distance from the site to the fault rupture, $\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{x}}$ : Horizontal distance from the surface projection of the top edge of the fault rupture to the site.
+- PGA, PGV, PGD: RotD50 Peak ground acceleration, velocity and displacement. The RotD50 metric represents the median from the two horizontal components rotated across 180 orientations, ranging from $0^{\circ}$ to $179^{\circ}$.
