You are looking for descriptions that meet the selection criteria in a search mask. You can build very complex queries by linking logically together any number of search masks.

The search mask, above a command line, looks like this:

For basic searches, please note the following:

In the listbox Volltext GW-Nummer Autor Name Rolle Sachtitel Format Druckort Drucker Druckdatum Kollationszeile Blattzahl Lagenverteilung Blattzählung Kustoden Spaltenzahl Glosse Zeilenzahl Type M-Q-Form nach Haebler Initiale Rubrikzeichen Noten Randleiste Holzschnitt Druckermarke Verlegermarke Rotdruck Kolumnentitel Marginalie Randbuchstaben Textbeschreibung Lage B Vorlage Datierung Anmerkung Faksimile-Vermerk Bibliographische Referenz Exemplarnachweis Normaldruck Einblattdruck Mehrteiliger Druck Nicht-Inkunabel (‘full text’) select the data type to be searched. There are 42 data types to choose from, as well as the ‘full text’ option. Opening the listbox shows these data types (also possible on this page). The document  Durchsuchbare Datenfelder, sinnvolle Operatoren und Inhalte von Suchfeldern provides further information.

The listbox gleich ungleich enthält enthält nicht größer als kleiner als vorhanden nicht vorhanden (‘contains’) provides the option of selecting one of eight operators. But not every operator can be combined with any data type, and the default setting ‘contains’ is often the most effective option.

Type the text you are searching for in the search field . For more detailed instructions, go to Search Basics!

The listbox 2 5 10 20 50 100 200 alle Treffer pro Seite (‘hits per page’) enables you to determine the length of each individual page of results. For more detailed information, go to Search Basics!

Click once on the button (‘start search’) to begin your search.

A click on the button (‘new search’) clears the search mask.

Example 1: The following query

Example 2: The following query

You can enhance your search by clicking on the boxes to the right of the search field:

Clicking on in a search mask copies that mask and applies a Boolean AND operation to the search results of both the masks.

Clicking on in a search mask copies that mask and applies a Boolean OR operation to the search results of both the masks.

Clicking on clears that mask.

Example 3: Begin your search by completing the input fields for the first criterion. Then click on , and change the input fields according to the second criterion:

So far not all command fields have been explained to you.

Each search mask can be marked by clicking in the checkbox at the start of the mask. The boxes , and at the start of the command line apply to this marking.

Combined with NOT — hidden in the listbox enthält — the Boolean operators AND and OR form a complete Boolean algebra which can be used to formulate any number of complex searches. However, you are restricted to normal forms, because there are no brackets. These are represented by the fields just introduced. All clear? No? Then let’s solve the following problem together! Imagine you are looking for editions printed in 1490 in Paris or Venice which contain 40 lines.

There are four search criteria. Create yourself a new set of four search masks by clicking three times on the button in the first mask. Fill in the masks in accordance with your search criteria. Your screen should look like this:
