Index
In cases when you are not sure how the information is stored in the database, it is recommended
to use the INDEX function.
After clicking the icon in the search mask a new
window is opened. It always shows the beginning of the basic index. If you want
to see the content of another index the appropriate search field (here
Author(s)) in the drop-down menu at the upper right corner must be
selected; then the beginning of the selected index is shown.

In order to proceed to a particular part of that index the desired string must
be given into the input box in the middle. After clicking the OK icon the desired part of the index is displayed. It shows
the content of the chosen index alphabetically or numerically, respectively,
adjacent to the requested string. Hereby the number of documents belonging to
each indexed term are listed in front of the corresponding index term.
If the user is interested in the 147 documents from G.T. Fraser, he may click
that term which is then automatically inserted into the corresponding query
field at the bottom of the index window. Multiple author names are automatically combined by the Boolean operator OR.
By clicking the icon you can return to the search mask.
From this window you may have access to the fuzzy search options by clicking the icon.
