#. *When using syntax ~</Search Field/~>:*

 * make sure there are no spaces between the field name and the colon.

 * when you enter the text to search for, make sure that there is no space after the colon e.g. *title:dictionary*   *author:henry*

…

   * *title:matt title:henry*

   * *title:~"matthew henry~*~"*

 

* *Examples*: \\   [Resource count will vary depending on the content of your Library]

* *Examples*: \\   [Resource count will vary depending on the content of your Library] \\ \\

 * *title:~"holman bible~"* \\ In the Library window, you will see only the books with *Holman Bible* in the title. \\ *Holman Concise Bible Commentary* will be not be included, because /Concise/ splits the words in our search term.

* In the /Find/ box enter *title:~"holman bible~"*

 * *title:holman title:bible* \\ This will include *Holman Concise Bible Commentary*, because both words are in the title.

 * In the Library window, you will see only the books with *Holman Bible* in the title.

 * *publisher:nelson title:king* \\ Adding *title:king* restricts the books published by Thomas Nelson to those with *king* in the Title (full and partial words).

 * *Holman Concise Bible Commentary* will be not be included, because /Concise/ splits the words in our search term.

 * *pubdate:>=2010* \\ This will find all resources published in 2010 or after.

* In the /Find/ box enter *title:holman title:bible*

 * *addeddate:<Oct 2018>* \\ This will find all resources that were /added/ to your machine in October, 2018 \\ This is distinct from *updateddate:<Oct 2018>*, as these resources may have been added to your machine in October /or earlier/.

 * This will include *Holman Concise Bible Commentary*, because both words are in the title. \\ \\

#. *When using syntax {Search Field}*

  * Adding *title:king* restricts the books published by Thomas Nelson to those with *king* in the Title (full and partial words). \\ \\

* In the /Find/ box enter  *pubdate:>=2010* \\

* *2.* When using syntax *{Search Field}*

 * This syntax is primarily intended for use in [[Collections >> Collections # Filterable fields]] (not Library), because it is much more efficient.

* Each search term must be enclosed in double /straight/ quotes and the term must be an *exact match* (including punctuation) for the desired value.

* Each search term must be enclosed in double /straight/ quotes and the term must be an *exact match* (including punctuation) for the desired value.\\Youcancopysomevaluesfrom/ResourceInformation/.

   * you can copy some values from /Resource Information/.

 * If a term contains double /straight/ quotes, they must be /escaped/ with extra double quotes e.g. ~"Definitive~" ==> ~"~"Definitive~"~"

 * Wildcards are not supported.

 * *Examples:*

   * *{Series ~"Barnes’ Notes on the Old and New Testaments~", ~"Wiersbe’s “Be” Series~"}* \\ It is best to copy these /Series/ values. \\ *Barnes* has a closing /curly/ single quote \\ *Be* has /curly/ quotes, so it doesn't need to be /escaped/.

   * *{Author ~"Barnes, Albert~"}* \\ It has to be the value you see in the *Author* column. \\ *~"Barnes Albert~"* will not work'  

 

* *Examples:*

   * In the /Find/ box enter *{Series ~"Barnes’ Notes on the Old and New Testaments~", ~"Wiersbe’s “Be” Series~"}*

     * It is best to copy these *Series* values.

     * *Barnes* has a closing /curly/ single quote

     * *Be* has /curly/ quotes, so it doesn't need to be /escaped/. \\ \\

   * In the /Find/ box enter *{Author ~"Barnes, Albert~"}*

     * it has to be the value you see in the *Author* column

     *  *~"Barnes Albert~"* will not work

!!! Using Operators in the Find box

\\

* *Examples*

*Inthe/Find/boxenter*Barnes OR Roberts* or *Barnes, Roberts*

* *Barnes OR Roberts* or *Barnes, Roberts*

 * this will find books authored by Barnes /or/ Roberts; but

* *author:barnes, author:"roberts"* is more precise, and eliminates "Robertson" as an author!However,

* *author:barnes, author:"roberts"* is more precise, and eliminates "Robertson" as an author;however,

 * *author:(barnes, "roberts")* is more concise. \\ \\

*Inthe/Find/boxenter*type:bible-commentary ANDNOT author:Barnes* or *type:bible-commentary -author:Barnes* \\

* *type:bible-commentary ANDNOT author:Barnes* or *type:bible-commentary -author:Barnes* \\

 * To exclude all Barnes' resources from your Library, use *~* -author:Barnes*  \\ \\

*Inthe/Find/boxenter*mytag:didache lang:greek* or *mytag:didache AND lang:greek* \\

* *mytag:didache lang:greek* or *mytag:didache AND lang:greek* \\

 * The tag "Didache" can be applied to many "Apostolic Fathers" resources e.g. Lightfoot's, Lake's, ANF7.

 * This will select the Greek language resources as opposed to the English language ones.
