| There are two methods of searching this database. |
|
Browsing - will allow the user to browse
all the records in alphabetical order by title. Buttons for these browse
function are in the top menu bar. |

Keyword Search - will allow the user
to search on all fields (Title, Author, Imprint, Language,
Description, Fulltext of extract), or choose only one field
to search on. The search features below are supported. After using keyword

| Some Search Concepts |
|
|
Keyword Searching- refers to the ability
to search on any word in a particular field. For example in, "A journey to
the tea countries of China", the word "tea" is the 5th word. However
keyword searches allow a user to search on "tea," and still
retrieve this record. |
|
Case Insensitivity - is used throughout
all the indexes. Therefore searches on "tea" or "Tea" will retrieve the
same results. |
