# Quick Start

The Census [database](https://database.census.de) can be used for research in different ways. In principle, the more precisely you know what you are looking for, the better your ability to narrow down your search results from the outset using a number of search functions. 

This section takes you through a series of steps to start using the database quickly. In-depth explanations of all features can be found in the other sections of this user guide.
