Simple Search

For every record type the system provides a simple search form, sometimes also it provides advanced search form (see Advanced Search ). In the form for simplified search the user has one field at his/her disposal in which he/she can enter a query formula without the possibility of indicating the attribute, which should be relevant to the query. This means that the search for a given query is performed on all the fields of the objects, as well as in the source documents attached to the objects. The syntax for the query to be specified in the query field is described in the Search Modes section.

The simple seach screen is shown on Fig. 1 below.

Open

As one can see, the screen consists of three areas: the query formulation area - (1), the filters area with additional filters (2), and the result area (3). The query line in (1) ends with 3 icons:

• magnifier - to execute a query

• cog - to switch to advanced query

• eraser - to clean the query and the filters

You can also see on the top of the result area the function bar:

where the following useful functions are located:

• the toggle to open/close the filters area (1)

• the switch to select all retrieved items by marking the check boxes on and off (2)

• the combo-box to select a format to exoprt the selected items (3)

The user who is logged in, can set the context search to:

• medium – matching results based on a tag cloud

• high – matching results based on the tag cloud and the author's discipline

By default, contextual search is disabled (none option).
