Fields: Search Fields
Search Fields lets you add, edit, the search fields that are used in the system. You can also delete custom search fields and map any fields to specific MARC maps, PDF data, or COSATI tags.

If you add or edit a search field, or if you edit the MARC Map properties for a search field, you must re-index your data and refresh the Discovery search cache. Your changes are not reflected in Searching or the Admin console until you refresh the search cache. For more information about refreshing the Discovery search cache, see Refreshing the search cache. |
