The Monguz OPAC3 search interface can be used in several languages. Users can change the default language of the interface by clicking on the language code.
(Available anguages are the followings:
Hungarian – HU
English - EN
Romanian – RO.)
During search, the system distinguishes neither between capitals and their lowercase equivalents, nor accented and unaccented letters. Articles and conjunctions are disregarded during the search process. (At least 3 characters must be entered, including the optional truncation symbol.)
Besides the 'Author' field, 'autocomplete' option is also set to the 'Subject-heading' field as default option.
It means that as the user types in the search box, the system offers search predictions that might be similar to the search terms he is typing. These predictions are optional.
The order of search fields is set according to the needs and preferences of the institution.
Truncation, masking
While searching, there is a possibility of truncation which is indicated by * (for instance law*). In this case, results will include all words starting with 'law'. Truncation can be applied at the beginning and at the end of the word, as well, and can substitute any number of characters.
Masking (indicated by ?) subsitutes only one character.
One field serves for searching a given word or expression. The dropdown panel provides the options according to which the search engine searches for matches in the database. Choosing a category will narrow down the possible results to that field.
By default, the advanced search section consists of three input fields. By choosing the 'Add new field' option, additional search conditions can be defined in new rows. Below the search fields, three radio buttons serve for defining logical relationship between search values. Extra search fields can be deleted with the help of '-' buttons at the beginning of each row.
1.2.1. Refine search
Searches can be further refined by using the settings panel next to the search fields. Filter options are the followings:
Date of publication
Place of publication
Language
New filter fields can be added or defualt ones removed if required by the customer.
Besides, search results can also be filtered by document type. This option is both extendable and removable if needed.
Search results are displayed in Compound format by default, but (Full), (Simple) and MARC views can also be chosen. (1.)
Filters on the left side serve for further refining of the results. (2.) Below each filter, several categories belonging to the filter are listed. In brackets, the number of occurence is displayed. In the optional fields those refining values appear which are related to the works somehow. Every time a new item is added to the applied filters, the list of available filters is updated.
Previously used search details are listed in the ('Search history') window right above the filters on the left side. Their order is descending starting from the most recently used one. By clicking on the icons next to them available options are:
load back into search form (e.g. for further refining)
delete
display search url.
On the results page, results can be browsed with the help of Next and Previous buttons. Also, the number of shown results on one page can be set – available options are 12, 24 and 48 by default. If users select a record from the list, record description becomes visible and other descriptions will be displayed one by one by clicking the Next and Previous buttons.
Records of the Results page can be ordered by the followings: 'Year of publication', 'Title' and 'Last modified'. These filters are available in a dropdown panel.
