TIPSDifference between "Select Contents" pull-down and Contents Facet

When you already know which content you want to search, it is useful the "Select Contents" pull-down of the Advanced Search, where you can select the contents in the facet, so you will be able to search in depth about one content. When you search from the Basic Search or the Advanced Search (with all the contents selected), you will be able to cross-search multiple contents, and then filter the contents. When you do not know in which content your search word may belong, it is recommended to first search from the Basic or Advanced Search page, and then filter the search results.

  • [OR]: is used when you want to search for information which contains one or the other word typed in the box.
  • [NOT]: is used when you want to exclude the typed word in the search information.
