ENHANCED SEARCH
DESCRIPTION
The Enhanced Search provides search boxes for a products Title, Authour, ISBN and Jurisdiction.
Each supports the same options as the General Search search box except ISBN. The ISBN search allows you to enter all or part of an ISBN number. If you input a complete ISBN number you will get a single result, inputing a part of a number will return all the numbers that contain the partial number. ISBN does not support and, wildcards or phrases.
All publishers and formats are searched, there are no filters on an Enhanced Search.
The boxes can be combined together as either and or or, by default the search boxes are combined together as an and search so each box your fill in must match the input.
Any number of search boxes can be filled in.
