Advanced Search
The [Advanced Search] option allows readers to perform specific searches on the database in a more targeted fashion than the general search feature.
Initially, the Advanced Search option provides a single search criteria field into which a required word or phrase can be entered. The first field provided is initially set to search only the Title field with a wildcard Contains search profile (i.e. the word or phrase can exist anywhere within the title field).
Clicking the [Search] button beneath the search criteria text field will start the search on the database, and display matching records.
Changing the Search Field
The targeted field for a search criteria can be changed by clicking the first drop-down menu on the row. The data fields targeted can be:
- Contributor (including authors, illustrators, editors etc.)
- Publisher
- Series
- Category (may only be available on some license levels)
- Keyword
- Language (may only be available on some license levels)
- Subject
- Location
- Audience
