IBU News (Germany) Edition 0.9.9

IB supports fielded data with extremely powerful and flexible methods.

Text Search

In its most basic form (when performing a search) you may specify a field, or a field path--- If no field is specified it means ANYWHERE in the record. Fields are specified with a / as

[FieldName/]term

Example. In the following (using the XMLified Shakespeare collection again)

<SPEECH>
  <SPEAKER>LADY MACBETH<<SPEAKER>
  <LINE>Yet here's a spot.</LINE>
</SPEECH>

The lines are available via the FIELD "LINE" as well as the path "PLAY\ACT\SCENE\SPEECH\LINE". To search for "spot" in a line would be

LINE/spot

(or to search in the specific lines that are elements of SPEECH etc. as

PLAY\ACT\SCENE\SPEECH\LINE/spot
