search builder

A Search builder is a feature (or an interface?)  which can be used to do an advanced search in a bibliographic database.

A free text search can be done; but a search builder includes the possibility to search by individual fields of the record (keyword, subject, title, source title, author, etc.)

You can choose the field in a drop-down menu or you can use the field codes typing them before the words and according to the particular language of the database.

Boolean operators and truncation characters can be used.

Other search options can be offered by a search builder, such as expanders and limiters. Examples of expanders are applying related words, searching in the full text of articles, and so on. Examples of limiters: by date or period, geographic regions, full text available, subjects, languages, and so on.
