Note that a submitted word will only be searched in the relevant field in the database: so if you were to submit “bicycle” as Object name in the Museum collection, then the Axiell Internet Server does not search in the title of objects, or in the creator’s name, etc. (If you want to search in multiple fields simultaneously on one word, you should use Simple search.) Behind some entry fields you’ll find a List button (a binoculars icon). Instead of just typing a word or name, with this button you can look up all words that occur in the relevant field in the database. This is handy if you are not sure about the spelling of a word or name, or if you just want to search alphabetically. This way your search will always yield results. In the Library catalogue for instance, you’ll see a List button behind the Author and Subject term entry fields. For example, click that button behind Author, and a list opens with all author names that occur in the database. Below that list, you can click the <<, <, > or >> icon to browse through the list. You can also type a page number (if the list consists of multiple pages) and click Go to to jump to that page. If you are looking for author names that start with a “W”, then you may type that letter in the Author entry field before you click the List button, so that the list directly opens at the letter “W”. Now, if you want to copy one of the names to the Author entry field, simply click the relevant name. In fields that have no List button, you can enter multiple words, separated by spaces (then all words must occur in a result). 3. Behind the Sort by and Sort order options you can choose if you would like the search result to be sorted at all (ascending or descending), and if so, on which field. This is especially handy if your search generates a lot of results. Just mark the relevant Sort by/Sort order radio button by clicking it. 4. Click the Search button to start the search.
