The advanced search tool will allow you to do a more specific search through your titles. With this tool, you will be able to search by:


Here is what the advanced search panel looks like:



By default, ONIXEDIT suggest you to search by Text and Key fields. In that case, you have only one possible operator which is Contains. By selecting Text and Key fields, you will be able to search in all your ONIX metadata for particular words providing you an handy "Full Text" search capability. You must enter a complete word or use the wild-card character "*". As an example, the following will search in all your metadata for the exact word "Electric":


If you add "*" after "Electric", you will search for titles having words beginning by Electric in all your metadata:



You can define multiple search criteria by combining each with operator AND or OR. To add a criterion, just click on the "Add a criterion" button of the Advanced Search tool:



Then, you will have to select which logical operator you want to apply between all your search criteria (AND by default):



Next, choose the ONIX field you want to search:



Then, select the search operator:



And finally, enter a value:



You can combine as many search criteria as you want. Depending on which ONIX field you choose, the search operator dropdown list and the value text box may vary. As an example, if you choose to search by Audience, the search operator will be set automatically to "Equals to" because you will be allowed to select only a predefined value corresponding to the ONIX Audience list:



Also, date fields allow you to make particular searches:


Using Between operator, you can search for titles published between a range of dates. You can also define only a "From" or a "To" date. As an example, the following will find all titles with a publication date starting from January 1st, 2013:




You can also use the Within operator if you want to find a title published within a specific number of days. That is, if you precise 30 days, ONIXEDIT will present all your titles with a publication date less than or greater than 30 days from today.
