Added help for general search, basic search, and advanced search.
1: \label{Search_Basic}
2:
3: The Basic search page allows you to specify a phrase or
4: expression to search for in the LON-CAPA resource repository. Search
5: strings can contain quoted phrases, multiple words, '-' (meaning
6: ``not''), and multiple words or phrases joined with 'or'. For
7: example:
8:
9: \begin{itemize}
10: \item \textbf{cat} Matches resources about cats.
11: \item \textbf{cat or dog} Matches resources about cats or dogs.
12: \item \textbf{cat dog} Matches resources about both ``cat'' and ``dog''.
13: \item \textbf{``fluffy cat'' -dog} Matches resources on the phrase ``fluffy cat'' that do not contain ``dog''.
14: \end{itemize}
15:
16: There are two checkboxes on the basic search page. The first allows
17: you to limit your search to the domain of the machine you are
18: currently logged into. The second causes a thesaurus lookup to be
19: done on your search phrase. Search results will include resources
20: which match any of the related phrases as well as the original phrase.
21:
22: The resource metadata fields searched in a basic search are listed
23: below. It is worth noting that the data searched is self-reported by
24: the resource author. In many cases authors are unable to provide
25: relevant values for the fields searched. If you need to search based
26: on properties other than the following, use the \ref{Search_Advanced}
27: Advanced Search link on the basic search page.
28:
29: \begin{itemize}
30: \item title
31: \item author
32: \item subject
33: \item notes
34: \item abstract
35: \item keywords
36: \end{itemize}
