1.2 Advanced Search
You can access the Advanced Search by clicking
Advanced Search on the catalogue homepage or search results screen.
The available search options are the same as on the homepage, but you may use one or more of them simultaneously. If you want to combine more than three search options, use
Add Search Row button to add more search input rows. Clicking the
X button will close the search input row.
Search Library
The current search library is displayed under the
Search Library box. If you accessed the catalogue from your library's homepage or catalogue URL, the default search library is your library or borrowing zone. If your library system has multiple branches or a borrowing zone that includes multiple libraries you can use the
Search Library box to select different branches or libraries.
Sort Results
By default, the search results are in order of greatest to least relevance. See
Public Catalogue Order of Results. In the
Sort Results box you may select to order the search results by relevance, title, author, publication date, or popularity.
Limit to Available
When the
Limit to Available checkbox is checked search results are limited based on an item’s current circulation status. Titles without available items in the selected search library will not be displayed.
Exclude Electronic Resources
When the
Exclude Electronic Resources checkbox is checked electronic resources are not included in the search results.
Group Formats and Editions
When the
Group Formats and Editions checkbox is checked all formats and editions of the same title are grouped as one result. For example, the DVD and the first and second print editions of
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets will appear together.
Search Filter
You can filter your search by:
- Format
- Language
- Audience
- Literary Form
- Publication Year
Publication year is inclusive. For example, if you set Publication Year Between 2005 and 2007, your result items will be published in 2005, 2006 and 2007.
