interim solution until an advanced search page is provided.

edsu commented 10 years ago

You can see the beginnings of an advanced search form here. Ideas/improvements are welcome on this ticket, or a new advanced search issue if you think we need one.

Team might want to review and select best practices from other advanced search tools, e.g. google advanced search and these (librarian) styles:

The draft advanced search form was discussed at the PSG meeting August 4th. I'm adding a new issue #762 which specifies the tasks to link to the /advanced page, and a 'search tips' page.

The design/functionality of what an advanced search page should do is very much up for debate.

I renamed this issue's title, and removed it from m22

cummingsm commented 10 years ago

The current version of the form should have a field for keyword (not tied to a specific field)

cummingsm commented 9 years ago

We have an advanced search form. Closing this issue.
