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 of your search phrase. Search results will include resources 19: which match any of the related phrases as well as the original phrase. 20: 21: The resource metadata fields searched in a basic search are listed 22: below. It is worth noting that the data searched is self-reported by 23: the resource author. In many cases, authors are unable to provide 24: relevant values for the fields searched. If you need to search based 25: on properties other than the following, use the \ref{Search_Advanced} 26: Advanced Search link on the basic search page. 27: 28: \begin{itemize} 29: \item title 30: \item author 31: \item subject 32: \item notes 33: \item abstract 34: \item keywords 35: \end{itemize}
