Searching
Two primary ways to search metadata stored in MARS.
MARS provides two locations to perform a basic text-based search of all metadata. A "Quick Search" bar is located at the top of each page, and will display a list of the top five best matches to the search query, based on the text content of the query. Links are provided next to each entry to the corresponding Entity.
MARS implements a query builder to construct more advanced search queries targeting specific parameters alongside inclusion and exclusion criteria. Currently, advanced query search only targets Entities.
When building an advanced query, the following Entity fields can be indexed:
- Name
- Description
- Collections
- Origins
- Products
The following criteria can be used for Name and Description fields:
- Contains: Does the string include the search value?
- Does Not Contain: Does the string NOT include the search value?
- Is: Does the string equal the search value?
- Is Not Does the string NOT equal
