Fields: Search Box Options
Search Box Options allows an administrator to configure the search target choices and fields that display in Search box for a specific search profile. These search targets let users choose the source in which to search for the specified search terms and the fields within the sources.
Manage Search Profiles > Search Box Options
In addition, you can enable a search target to be searched but not include it in the list. This allows your library to restrict searches by search limits while giving access to searches across all search targets.

The search targets that display in the Available lists under Discovery Search Targets and Federated Search Targets are configured by the system administrator in Manage Profile > Select Search Targets. |
You can add, remove, or reorder Discovery search targets for a search profile. The Discovery search targets that you choose for a search profile are displayed in Searching in the order that they appear in the Selected list under Discovery Search Targets.
You can add, remove, or reorder federated search targets. The federated search targets that you choose for a search profile are displayed in Searching in the order that they appear in the Selected list under Federated Search Targets.
When you have finished selecting search targets, click OK to save your changes, or click Cancel to discard your changes.

The Discovery administrator database metadata is cached in the Discovery Server application. Any changes to Search Box Options will not be reflected to the patron in Searching until the metadata cache is refreshed. For more information, see Refreshing the search cache. Also, the program indexes only the search fields that appear in the Selected list. No results will appear for fields added to the Search Box until the indexes for the search targets listed in the "Searchable and Shown" and "Searchable Only" boxes have been run. For more information, see Triggering a task manually. |
Profile
Displays the name of the search profile for which you are enabling search targets.
Discovery Search Targets
Available
Displays a list of all Discovery search targets available for the search profile. Choosing a search target displays that Discovery search target as an option in Searching.
You can select or multiselect one or more search targets and then click Select, or you can double-click individual search targets to move them to the Searchable and Shown list under Discovery Search Targets.
To move search targets to the Searchable Only list, you must first move them to Searchable and Shown. You can then select or multiselect one or more search targets and then click Select to the right of the Seachable and Shown list to move them to the Searchable Only list.
Searchable and Shown
Displays a list of Discovery search targets that are enabled and displayed in the list for this search profile. The search targets you select will appear in the order you specify as options in Searching.
Note: The search target options appear in Searching only if two or more are listed in the Searchable and Shown list under Discovery Search Targets or if at least one target is listed in the Searchable Only box. If only one search target is selected in the Searchable and Shown list and no targets are included in the Searchable Only box, no Discovery search target options will appear in Searching.
You can select or multiselect one or more search targets and then click Remove to move them to the Available list under Discovery Search Targets. Select one or more search targets and use the arrow buttons to move them to or from the other lists and to move them up or down in the list.
Searchable Only

To move search targets to Searchable Only, you must first move them to Searchable and Shown. You can then select or multiselect one or more search targets and then click Remove to the left of the Searchable Only list to move them to the Searchable and Shown list.
Using the buttons
To add, remove, or reorder Discovery search targets in the list, choose the search target, and then use the buttons between the list where you have selected a target and the list to which you want to move the target. The following table describes the buttons:
Option | Description |
---|---|
Select
|
Moves the selected search target from the Available list to the Searchable and Shown list or between the Searchable and Shown list and the Searchable Only list. |
Remove
|
Removes the selected search target from the Searchable and Shown list and returns it to the Available list or from the Searchable Only list and returns it to the Searchable and Shown list. |
Move Up
|
Moves the selected search target up one position in the Searchable and Shown list. |
Move Down
|

Note: These buttons are context-sensitive based on which search target(s) you choose. For example, if you select a search target from the Available list, the Remove, Move Up, and Move Down options are disabled because those commands are not available for available Discovery search targets. If you select a search target from the Searchable and Shown list, the Remove, MoveUp, and Move Down options are enabled because those commands are available for selected Discovery search targets.

Any fields that you have selected as facets display in the list as "Keyword in [field name] headings," which indicates that the field, when selected by a patron, allows a browse-type search.

Clicking the author's name displays the list of books by that author.
