This is a simplified version of the text OPAC main window. The patron enters a
term and clicks one of the search buttons (this window can be configured in
Setup to show from one to all five search buttons). The patron must enter a
complete word, but does not have to enter a complete term to produce results.
The patron can also use wildcards (see page 459 for more information on these).
The Type In Search performs a keyword search in the title, author, subject, or
series index, or if Keyword is selected, all indexes. In the text interface, the Search
History dialog lists any Type In searches as Power searches.
Examples:
The patron enters
HOUSE
and clicks the Title search button. The results include
Little house on the prairie and The napping house as well as The house cat.
The patron enters
WALSH
and clicks the Author search button. The search results
include books by Joan Walsh Anglund as well as those by Abigail M. Walsh.
