Information Portal lets you limit a search by any of your Horizon indexes. The primary use of this feature is to supply a limit for a range of publication dates on the Advanced or Power searching pages. (For example, users can search for all titles that match their search criteria and that have been published between 1990 and 2000.)
Before You Begin
You must set up the index in Horizon. (For example, to limit by a range of publication dates, you must set up the Dpdate search field with the “.yr” prefix in Horizon.) Then you can make the index a limit in Information Portal setup. (For instructions on setting up prefixes for search fields, see “Creating the Index Definition” in the “Setting Up a Keyword Index for Horizon Information Portal” section of the “Indexing” chapter of the Horizon System Administration Guide.)

2 | Click the Setup tab. |
3 | Click the Libraries sub-tab. |
4 | Click the Indexes option. |
