Public Data Fields
Previous Topic  Next Topic 


The Public Data Fields are the set of fields which are defined for each of the record types (book, journal, historical event, person, research group, institution, C14 date etc.) and appear on the Public Info tab of the editing form (pale blue background).


The fields vary between record types, however different record types may (and often do) share some of the same fields.


all:xxx

Search for records containing xxx in any of the public data fields.

field:abc:xxx  f:abc:xxx

Search for records in public data field abc containing the string xxx. If xxx is omitted, search for records that have any value in field abc.

The field identifier abc may be the name of the field, for example field:"AuthorEditor":Hill, or the field's numerical identifier, field:196:Hill.

=, < and > operators may be used, e.g. f:123=456, f:"date added"<yesterday.


Note that the same field eg. 196 (Author/Editor), may be used in different record types and may appear to be labeled differently in different record types; for example, AuthorEditor may be called Author for Journal Articles and Editor for Journals.
