Setting Up a Horizon Index Limit for Horizon Information Portal
Horizon 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 have been published between 1990 and 2000.)
You can set up your Horizon indexes as limits in Information Portal. To use the date range limiting feature, 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.
