Indexes

What follows is a list of FirstSearch indexes and the combination of USE and STRUCTURE attributes that can be used to access them.

  1. For any FirstSearch label where multiple USE attributes are listed all the attributes will provide the exact same search result sets.
  2. Any USE attribute that is not marked as a restrictor is available via the SCAN service.
  3. Restrictors are specially implemented indexes and are not available for scanning. Terms for these must be ANDed with other terms to limit the size of the result set. See the table provided for each restrictor to determine valid terms and their associated meaning.

Restrictors

The following restrictors can be used only in conjunction with an index search.   They must be added to an index search with the Boolean AND in order to receive search results:

Restrictors Type Use Attribute Structure Attribute Notes
Year* All (--)
Single (1999)
Range (1992-1998)		 31 5 Restrict to a single year, or a range of years.

* Year is both an index and a restrictor.

Sorting

Search results in the Electronic Collections Online database of article records can be sorted by Author (1003), Title (4), and Publication Date (30).  Search results of journal records can be sorted by Title (5246).

Punctuation Rule Punctuation Rule

Searching tips

Keyword searches (1016):The Keyword search finds information in these fields: Title (245/a), Abstract (520/a), Subject (653/a), and Source (773/t).

Author names searches (1003): Most, but not all, author names are listed last name first. First names or first initials may be listed. Consider using the Unordered Adjacency (n) operator and the Boolean OR operator to search for names.

Publication Date searches (30): Use the Publication Date value (30) to search for articles by publication date. Type dates in this format: yyyymmdd. You can search for a single date or a range of dates.

Phrase indexes do not include the leading articles A, AN or THE.
