Assigning a Search Mode to a PAC Flavor

The search mode specifies what additional searching features are available to the borrower. These are the additional searching features that you can enable:

Expert mode. This mode lets users conduct searches in staff searching using a command line. (For more information, see “Doing an Expert Search” in the “Searching” chapter of the Horizon Basics Guide.)
Bib Keyword: Trace Links. This mode lets staff searching display a broader range of hits if bib records are linked in the database. If your search response time is too slow, you can turn off this mode.

To assign a search mode to a PAC flavor

1 Open the pac view in the Table Editor.

Horizon displays the List Public Access Flavor window.

2 Choose the flavor you want to change.

Horizon displays the Edit Public Access Flavor window.

3 Click Page Down or resize the window to display the search mode options:

4 Do one or both of these options:
Mark the Enable Expert Mode box to let users do command-line searches in staff searching.
Mark the Bib Keyword: Trace Links box to let users view linked bib information in the Bibliographic Display field in staff searching.
