Item title w/o book title?
Is there any way to search for a term in an item title (e.g. book section or conference paper) but exclude matches for the collection title (i.e. book title or proceedings title). I'm fine including matches in both, but I want to exclude if *only* the collection title matches.
Say I want all item titles with "clock", whether or not the publication title has "clock". But I don't want item titles without "clock" in publications whose titles have "clock". How would I implement that search?
Use Advanced Search. Search for “Title” “contains” [leave the box blank] and “Publication” “does not contain” [leave box blank].
For your "clock" example, set the Match box to "any", then search for "Title" "contains" "clock" and "Publication" "contains" "clock".
And if the match is "any", won't the 2nd line search also match items without "clock" in the title, but with "clock" in the publication title? That's what I'm trying to avoid.
Regarding the second one, sorry I misunderstood what you were asking for there. Set the search to be Match “all”.
There are four possible combinations of "clock" being present or not in title and publication title. Could you say which ones of these you want the search to find and which ones not?
1. Clock is in both title and publication title
2. Clock is only in the title
3. Clock is only in the publication title
4. Clock is neither in the title nor in the publication title
title -- contains -- clock
in advanced search, so I feel like I'm still missing something. Does that not work?
The quick search documentation says "“Title, Year, Creator” - matches against just these three fields." Is the quick search supposed to match not just item 'title, but also 'book title' and 'proceedings title'? If so, it would be great if someone with editing privileges would clarify that in the documentation, and if not, perhaps create a ticket to change that.
