Help for Broker Queries
This Broker handles several types of queries.
The simplest query is a single
word, such as:
Ex.: Author: mustermannAlso
Ex.: Author: karl mustermann
works as expected.
Search is case insensitive.
Matches on word boundaries
Ex.: Author:
muster
will also be displayed.
Boolean queries are supported.
'AND' and 'OR' have to be in capitals.
Boolean expressions must have proper bracketing '(' ')'.
feature: The broker currently is ignorant about the rule: 'AND'
precedes 'OR'.The brackets
Ex.: Title: (dog AND cat) OR potatoe
cannot be omitted.
Those familiar (with the way Harvest remodels) the full query
syntax of the underlying glimpse database, may want to use the first
entry of the query interface labelled 'free text'.
