Index Search User Manual
The simple user interface is just meant to help you to start with the index search. It is recommended to use the complete user interface, once you are familiar with the basic terms. The simple user interface allows you to enter search terms in the five fields and combine those with AND, OR, and NOT. Each input field can search in one of the indexed fields (see complete user interface for a list of available fields). Empty input fields will be ignored. You can check "case-sensitive" to use the case-senstive search for all fields. The default is to match independent of case.
Either after searching using the simple user interface, or by disabling the simple user interface using the checkbox "Use simple search", you can enter a query using the complete user interface. The syntax is basically the same as for Entrez:
For example "Lang Rensing" [REF] AND 31337 [ACC] will return all hits where Lang and Rensing are authors and 31337 is part of the accession. Note that this is equivalent to Lang[REF] AND Rensing[REF] AND 31337[ACC]. If you want to search for Lang or Rensing, you'll have to use something like Lang[REF] OR Rensing[REF] AND 31337[ACC]. "Lang Rensing" will also match entries with LANG and rensing, if you want case sensitivity, you will need to write 'Lang Rensing'[REF], i.e. single quotes instead of double quotes. Possible fields are:
In the following example, the fields that will be searched by the single categories are marked:
