Search tool

The search tool can be used in the sources or in a dataset. (See Searching in all sources (in the Data module), see Searching in selected sources (in the Data module), see Searching in dataset (in the Data module), see Searching in a dataset (in the Reconstruction module)).

The search tool is available by using the search icon, or the "Search in database" menu item (in the Data module) or the "Search in dataset" menu item (in the Reconstruction menu).

Search tool

Searching

You can search in several records fields: FUN, CGR, COA, FSI, TUF, COD, FRM, STO, SCS, SCC, TRA, TUE, ALT, CLS, CLP, CSA, CGO. You can choose in the drop-down menu on which field the filter will be applied (i.e. which type of information you want to filter). By default, the search is done on the "glose" field (TRA+TUF+TUE).

The result, i.e. the records of the database (or of a set of sources) that contain the text string you have searched in the chosen field, appear in the Available elements zone.

The "not" box allows to inverse the filter. The results will be the records that do not contain the text string you have searched.
The "full word" box allows to filter full words, i.e. a text string between two blank characters or two punctuation marks.
The "reg" box allows to filter by using regular expression.

It is possible to add search criteria via the plus icon or to delete criteria via the delete icon. Yopu can switch between the "AND" and "OR" conjunction that link two (or more) criteria by clicking on them.

and

You need to click on the find button to start the search.

The results appear in the Available elements zone.

Saving a query

When the results appear in the Available elements zone, it becomes possible to save the query by using the save icon.

Making saturation

In the Reconstruction module, from the results of a query (in a dataset) that appear in the Available elements zone, you can perform a "saturation search" on a specific field (selected from the drop-down menu). The Saturation Search will look in the whole active dataset and retrieve only those records for which the content of the selected field matches the content of the same field within the (already) displayed records. For example, if you perform a "saturation search" of a field (e.g. STO), you will get all the records of the active dataset that share the same value for the field (e.g. the same STO). This tool must be used with care, because the number of results may well be very important.
