"Expert Mode" Searches
If one clicks on the "ExpertMode" check box in the toolbar while the "Search Documents" tab is selected, a number of other secondary tabs will appear next to the 'Subject' tab, as indicated below:
Expert Mode Searches - All Text Search
The "All Text" search screen is shown in the above figure. This type of search is similar to the simple full text search that can be carried out from the "Quick Search" button in the toolbar. The difference is that the QuickSearch simply searchs for a single string anywhere in a metadata document. The "All Text" search is also a text search, but it allows for a several text strings with different criteria (see list in figure) to be used to search metadata documents.
The "Guided Search" tab enables yet another type of search. In this case the detailed structure of xml metadata document types can be used to searches based on detailed paths into specific document types. A sample screen for the Guided Seach tab is shown below:
Example of a "Guided Search" screen
In the Guided Search screen, a list of metadata 'document types' appear on the left. This list comes from two sources - local DTDs which define XML document types, and the central metadata catalog, which gnerates a list of all known, unique document types. Note that there may be many individual documents of a single document type. The type defines the structure of a document, while each document may have different values for each of the structural elements.
