Templates

The templates are given with search terms “this”, “that.” These are replaced in an actual search by:

  • A simple text term, e.g. church
  • A text phrase, e.g. “Son of man”
  • A data type, e.g. <Person Jesus>
  • A search field value
  • A label

Note: the select term menu appears limited to simple text terms meaning that the user must know the format and content of the other options.

In testing, the search arguments were run with “match all word forms” set in a basic search against Catholic Church. Vatican II Documents. Vatican City: Libreria Editrice Vaticana, 2011.
