Doing a Keyword Search

When you select a record type in the Object box and an access point in the Search by box, Keyword search appears in the Type list if available for this combination of record type and access point.

For some types of records, keyword searching is available because the selected Search by access point actually searches in linked records. For example, when you search by Title for a line item in a selection list, purchase order, or invoice, Keyword search appears in the Type box because the system searches for the line item by the title in the linked bibliographic record.

Keyword searching is available for the following types of records (depending on the selection in the Search by box):

• Acquisitions
  • Claims
  • Invoice Line Items
  • Purchase Order Line Items
  • Selection List Line Items
• Cataloging
  • Authority
  • Bibliographic
  • Community
  • Course Reserves
  • Items
  • Promotions
  • Reserve Items
• Patron Services/Circulation
  • Course Reserves
  • Hold Requests
  • ILL
  • Patron Records
• Serials
  • Claims
  • Issues
  • Parts
  • Route Lists
  • Subscriptions
