Data persistance

⚠️

ils.test.rero.ch is a demo site. The data created of modified by any users aren't ment to persist. The data will be refreshed at every deployment.

Search

By default, the search will retrieve documents, ie books, and items attached to it, that match the typed keywords.

The search looks for strings that exists in the document index. This index contains the documents data, which are bibliographic records (only books for the moment), and the items data, ie the barcode, the call number, and the item type. The items data contains also information related to circulation, such as the status (on loan, on shelf, missing) and the start date, end date and patron identifier if the item is on loan. Obviously, this will have to be modified in the future for privacy reasons.

You can have a look on how this data are structured by exporting the JSON of a document. Type a request into the search field, even an empty one, click on a result which has some items. At the bottom of the page, you'll find a link to export the complete data of the documents displayed in a JSON file (web embedded).
Observing this data, you're now able to type advanced request in the search input, using the lucene syntax.
