When you think of an advanced search function, you may think of a complex search functionality with a lot of input fields and mathematical calculations with options such as “and”, “or” and “not”. KLEKSI's search function offers the same options but in a contemporary and very user-friendly way. You will find the extensive search function in the overview of all descriptions and/or objects, in the lists you have created, in the advanced selection lists, in the overview of each type of procedure (loan, restorations, etc.) and in the bulk change function.At first glance, the new search function looks like any simple search function with only one input field, but as soon as you click on the input field you will discover that much more is possible. As with any search function, you can search by entering a word you are looking for. As soon as you click in the search field, a list with all names of entry fields that are present in your database opens below. You can also enter the name of a field in the search bar to quickly find the field you want to set as a filter. This way you don't have to scroll through all the fields (if you have many fields). For example, if you click on the name of the field “Manufacturer” you can create a filter on the relevant entry field. For example, you can choose from “contains”, “equal to”, “starts with” or “ends with”. For example, you can search for all manufacturers whose name starts with “Johan”. Then you apply a filter to the "period" field and set it to filter all works created within a period of 1600 and 1700. With this search you will find, for example, all objects of “Johannes Vermeer”. This way you can endlessly set filters and refine your search to arrive at the desired descriptions or objects (see examples below).
