Basic Search

In order to conduct a full-text search, please enter one or several search words in the search window "Free text" . This field may not be empty in the Basic Search function.

  • If you enter several terms in the search window, the system automatically links them with an "and" operator.
  • Capitalization and small letters are irrelevant.
  • You can refine the search by setting a + (for "and") or a – (for "not") before the search term, e.g. linguistik +slavistik -romanistik.
  • Phrase Search: With a phrase search you can search for word sequences. In order to do so, please enter the words in quotation marks (" ") in exact order, e.g. "thomas mann künstler philosoph".
  • Searches that merely consist of stopwords (words that appear very often in texts, such as "the", "is", "der", "die") are being ignored in the Search. In order to search with active stopwords, please proceed with a phrase search, e.g. "to be or not to be" .
  • Avoid searching very common like for example z.B. "der", "die" oder "das", they can cause performance-issues. Seach common words in phrases instead for example "to be or not to be".

Auto completion: If Java Script is activated in your browser, auto completion is activated after the entry of the third letter of your search term in the search window. Suggestions for search terms, displayed in a list, consist of words from the texts indexed for Digi20.

Start of the search: Start the search by clicking the button "Search" If you change any parameter in your search, or if you want to change the sorting order of your result texts, please click the Search-button again.

With a click on "Advanced Search" you will be lead to a search form with more search criteria. With the link "New Search" you can start a new Basic Search.

Advanced Search

With the Advanced Search you can search full-texts by entering one or several search words in the search window "Full text" .

In contrary to the Basic Search, the field "Full-text Search" may be empty. In this case, you conduct a Metadata Search . However, at least one other field must be filled out.

  • If you enter several terms in the search window, the system automatically links them with an OR operator.
  • Capitalization and small letters are irrelevant.
  • You can refine the search by setting a (+) for "and" or a (–) for "not" before the search term, e.g. linguistik +slavistik -romanistik .
  • Search words can be abbreviated with a star (*) Single letters can be replaced by a question mark (?) This is a so called truncation, e.g. linguist* finds linguisten, linguistisch and linguistik , bzw. m?ller finds müller, moller and miller . Please note that you can only use truncation at the end of a word.
  • Phrase Search: With a phrase search you can search for word sequences. In order to do so, please enter the words in quotation marks (" ") and in exact order, e.g. "thomas mann künstler philosoph" .
  • Searches that merely consist of stopwords (words that appear very often in texts, such as "the", "is", "der", "die") are being ignored in the Search. In order to search with active stopwords, please proceed with a phrase search, e.g. "to be or not to be" .
  • Search with a certain word spacing e.g. "thomas mann künstler philosoph"~10 i.e. words have to have no more than 10 words between each other.

For a refined search, the Advanced Search provides three search fields with specific search attributes in respective drop-down menus. Additionally you can search in exact years of publication and in specific subject areas.

Search attributes in the drop-down menus for the Metadata Search in detail:

  • Title: Enter relevant and crucial words from the title. You don’t have to type in the entire title.
  • Series: Indicate the series.
  • Author/ Editor: Enter the name of the author, if you don’t know the given name, omit it.
  • Publisher: Indicate the publisher.
  • Place of publication: Indicate the place of publication
  • Subject heading: Type in a keyword (in German). This field is linked with the German Subject Authority File (SWD) .

All Search attributes can be linked with "and" and "not" . In order to do so, please select the respective link in the drop-down menu on the left.

Search in the year of publication: You can refine your search additionally by searching in specific years of publication. Example: If you want to retrieve only works that were published between 1890 and 1910, enter the numbers 1890 and 1910 in the two fields and link them with the operator "and". If you want to exclude publications between 1890 and 1910 from your search, use the operator "not".

Wortstamm-Suche: TEXT FEHLT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Refining the search with subject areas: The classification of subject areas derives from the German RVS classification. An implementation of the DDC (Dewey Decimal Classification) is in preparation.

Sorting order of search results: You can sort results according to relevance, the year of publication or title. Additionally you can select a descending or ascending order. The default setting is a sorting according to relevance in a descending order, i.e. the result with the highest relevance is displayed on top.

Display of result texts: In addition to each result, you can choose to see the result texts with highlighted search words as an image section. In order to do so, simply select "Display result texts". Please note that this may cause longer loading times.

Start of the search: Start the search by clicking the button "Search" . If you change any parameter in your search, or if you want to change the sorting order of your result texts, please click the Search-button again.

With a click on "Advanced Search" , you will be lead to a search form with more search criteria. With the link "New Search" you can start a new Advanced Search.

General information for using Digi20

Subject heading cluster: The Subject heading cluster consists of SWD - subject headings used for the indexed documents in the Digi20-Project.

Language settings: Currently the website provides a German and an English version (as at March 2011). You can switch languages by selecting the respective flag in the navigation bar.

Font size settings: You can gradually change the font size of the website by clicking on the links “A A A” in the upper right corner of your screen. Please note that the degree of the zoom is corresponding to a “normal” font (100%). That means, in case of an altered presetting of the zoom in your browser, the font size might appear disproportionately small or big. In this case, check the zoom factor in your browser and if necessary reset it to 100% (Strg + 0). Then change the font size again by selecting the respecting links “A A A”.

Glossary

Metadata-Search

Metadata are data that contain information about other data. In the case of Digi20 these are e.g. title, author/ed., publisher and place of publication. With the Metadata Search, you search directly in the metadata, not in the indexed full-texts of Digi20.

Phrase search

With a phrase search you can search for word sequences or subject terms. The search engine recognizes a phrase as a single term. The search query "Bayerische Geschichte" for instance, generates a search for the subject term "Bayerische Geschichte", not for the two single words "Bayerische" and "Geschichte". Your search results will contain only hits that include this exact word sequence. Within a phrase search you can use stopwords e.g. "Geschichte der Niederlande".

Relevance

The relevance is generated with the help of a mathematical similarity of the search query and the document (here book). The importance of single words depends on their frequency in and on the size of the document.

Subject Authority File (SWD)

The Subject Authority File contains standardized terms that German libraries use in order to describe the content of a book. The SWD is administered by the German National Library in cooperation with several library networks.

Truncation

A truncation is a wildcard character for any number of characters in your search query. It is especially useful, if different variations of a search word shall be considered.
