Description:
Is it feasible to add a third search box in the advanced search tab?
The form is found in 'quick-1-body-advanced' (relevant code below).
I'm wondering if the backend script could handle a third term?
Would we also need to define a new set of values?

</div>

Resolution:
We currently do not support a third search box because only a small percentage of the CKB resources support three search terms.
If this percentage increases, it is likely that including a third box would be revisited.
