Horizon lets you narrow the types and locations of records you want to search for. (For example, if you are interested in only nonfiction titles that are currently checked in, you can restrict your search to those two criteria.) Your system administrator sets up restrictions. (For more information, see “Search Restrictions” in the “Searching Setup” chapter of the System Administration Guide.)
You can restrict a search either before or during your search. You can change restriction parameters at any point during a search. The library sets up a default set of restriction parameters that Horizon reactivates when you click the Reset button.
The Titles List window displays only those items that match your restrictions. Restricted entries in subject keyword, author keyword, and alphabetical searches do not appear until you display the Titles List for a selected heading. Title alphabetical searches display gray entries for titles that do not match your restrictions.
You can restrict a search by one or more of these criteria:
• | Collection |
• | Location |
• | Item status |
• | Item type |
To restrict a search
1 | Press F2 to access the Main Search window. |
2 | Click Restrict. |
Horizon displays the Restrict Title Display window:
3 | In the left column, highlight the restriction you want. |
You can choose only one. (For example, if you want to restrict your search results to books, highlight “Books Only.”)
4 | In the right column, highlight all locations you want to search. (You can choose zero, one, or more locations.) |
5 | Click OK to apply your restriction parameters. |
Horizon displays the restriction criteria above the Search for field.
6 | Begin your search. (For instructions, see Doing a Basic Search.) |
