You create combined keyword search options using two or more existing indexes. If you are unsure about which indexes to use, open the index table and display the MARC maps for the possible indexes you want to use. The MARC map determines what information from the MARC record is displayed in the view. (For more information about using MARC maps in staff searching, see Understanding Indexing MARC Maps.)
Combined keyword searches may slow the performance of the workstation. Horizon recommends using between four and six indexes to do this type of search. If you need to use more than six indexes in a general keyword search, contact Horizon Customer Support.
The task in this section describes only those fields necessary for the task. If this task does not describe a field, leave the field blank. (For a complete description of all fields in the window, see Creating a Single Alphabetical or Single Keyword Search Option.)
You can create combined indexes only for keyword searches in the New Search process.

Example 1 |
Enter an example of a search string users might enter for this index. Users can view these examples by clicking the Example button in the main search window. |

Describe example 1 |
Enter a description of the search results for example 1. For example, the text for a Title Keyword search index might be, “Words from titles and contents notes.” |

Example 2 |
Enter another example of a search string users might enter for this index. Users can view these examples by clicking the Example button in the main search window. |
|||||||||
Describe example 2 |
Enter a description of the search results for example 2. |

Display View |
Enter or choose the view that displays the search results. Determine the right view by figuring out which table (and, therefore, view) stores and displays the information you want to retrieve. (For a list of windows and their corresponding views, see Horizon Views.) Each PAC flavor already specifies standard views for bibliographic and item displays. Consequently, you need to specify additional views only for indexes that are not included in the standard list, such as subject keyword and series keyword. (For information on views specified in PAC flavors, see PAC Flavors.) Complete this field only when the search option is one of these types:
