Rule #1: Match "Any Field" means OR. Match "All Fields" means AND.
Example: Find catchers in NY. Check "All Fields", "C" for Position, "NY" for Team.
Rule #2: It lists all the players who have your search term within the last 3 years (or in the prediction year) with the highest ranked player first.
