Searching Syntax and Operations
Paraphrased from swish-e syntax
The search index was generated from the mets/mods metadata for the CD-ROMs in the svp collection. Indexed sections are "title", "abstract", "subject", and "classification". By default only "title" is searched.
The simplest search is a single word, e.g.
fish
or lists of words (which are logically AND'ed)
fish catfish
Simple boolean combinations are possible
fish NOT catfish
Search words can be drawn from specific properties
title=fish AND abstract=manual
It's also possible to search for specific SUDOC numbers
classification="I 49.6/2: F 52/9/PACK. CD"
or sets of numbers
classification="I 49"
Searching for phrases also works:
abstract="habitat preference"
Wildcards also work
title=entitle*
