single query using the Link to next criterion box. If necessary, click Next>> to display additional Criterion areas until
you complete the query definition. Click Previous<< to navigate to previously entered search criteria. You can also

Field: Select the name of the index term on which you want to search, or select PDF to search the names of all PDF
files associated with a document (or, if you are searching all documents in the database, the names of all PDFs asso-
ciated with all documents in the database). For example, if you want a list of all PDF files in the archive folder that con-
tain the string “2002” in their names, you would select PDF Name in the Field box and set the remaining boxes in the
search criterion accordingly. If you are searching all documents in the database (you selected All of them in the Doc-
ument box), only those index terms that are common to all the documents appear in the Field box. Index terms appear
in alphabetical order in the Field box.
Operator: Select the type of comparison you want PlanetPress Search to perform (starts with, ends with, is, is not,
contains, does not contain, is greater than, is less than). The operator that appears by default is the last one you used in
a query.
String: Enter the string you want PlanetPress Search to search for in the database. Note that the string cannot contain
double quotes (“).
Link to next criterion: Select the type of connection you want to establish between this criterion and the next.
Select not linked if this is the last criterion in the search query.
8. Click Search Now to launch the search.
PlanetPress Search queries the database and displays the results of the search in the Results area. If you searched on
all documents in the database (you selected All of them in the Document box when you set up the search), expand a
document in the Results list to display the search results for that particular document.
Things to Remember
l In a Basic query, the search string you define cannot contain double quotes (“).
l If you do not specify any search criteria when you perform a Basic search, PlanetPress Search returns the complete
contents of the search database.
