Hello List,

I am a new user and new to the list. I am using QGIS version 
3.12.2-București and have imported two .gdb files in QGIS and am trying 
to figure out how to query the data and have it show me on the map where 
it is located. I have been reading through the documentation but not 
quite sure how to phrase my question to get the answer I am looking for.

So far I can see my layers on the left hand side and I have been trying 
to use the Expression String Builder to create a query but I cannot 
figure out how to build a query that I can actually just plug in one of 
the attributes and have it show on the map where it is located. The data 
is of a county in Texas and I am trying to find parcel IDs by either 
Prop_ID, GEO_ID, LEGAL_DESC, or OWNER_NAME. I am not getting 
it...unfortunately.

If someone can tell me, what I should be searching on to find my answer 
in SE, Google or the documentation, I will gladly go and read up on how 
to do it, but just not sure how to phrase the questions to get the 
answers.

Thanks for any help or guidance,

Jon
