The Advanced Search facility offers a powerful way to search for documents containing specific information. Quick Search is easier to use because it converts your query into the complex notations used for an Advanced Search.
For more information about constructing advanced queries, consult the following pages:
- Advanced Searching - An introduction to complex queries;
- Query Language - Constructing queries for finding documents;
- Operators - A reference;
- Modifiers - A reference.
Advanced queries can be used when searching across the whole database (including electronic text where available) as well as searching individual fields or a combination of fields. As long as valid "Topic" search syntax is used it is possible to perform any search from the Advanced Search screen, including the use of operators such as "and", "or", "not", "near", and brackets to logically group search terms. Below is the syntax for the names of the index fields you will need to use when using the advanced search feature of this database.
Using advanced search enables you to sort the results a number of ways (by selecting a number of options from a pull down menu) and also permits you to specify the maximum number of instruments you wish to return in your result.
