Search inconsistency/error

MJ. Smith

When I do a search on <CCC 82> I get the results I expect i.e. references to the Catechism of the Catholic Church paragraph 82. Very nice. However, if It try to extend this to other standard Church documents e.g. <CT 13> the search behaves as if I had entered "CT 13" rather than indicating that no such data type exists. I didn't really expect it to work ... but I didn't expect "false" results either.

This is a discussion we've had throughout L4's history. I agree with you. When L4/5 tries to interpret your search term, it ought to tell you it's done so (like Google does when you spell a word incorrectly). In this case it's decided you mean to search for the phrase "CT 13".

I don't have Catholic documents to see what the tagging is (if any). But the Detailed Search Help wiki page suggests the following to find out:

If you want to find out the syntax for any of the other datatypes, find a hyperlink to that datatype in your library. For example, if you want to find the Philo datatype, find a resource that links to Philo (it doesn’t matter where in Philo it links to). Right-click on that link, make sure the datatype is selected in the righthand menu, the choose “Search this resource”. A search window will pop up with the correct syntax. You can then modify the syntax to search for the exact reference you want.
