Simple Search

This is the easiest way to look for resources. It's the default method and it's called Simple Search.

Its interface is the default page of the web application. It's located here:

http://localhost:8080/comete

The picture below shows how it looks:

To perform a simple search, the user only needs to enter a string in the text field. The system will take each word individually and perform a full-text search on the provided words. To search on a precise expression composed of more than one word, the user must enclose it between double quotes.

Hence, the following query:

open system

will look for resources that contains either open or system. Also, because it's a full-text search, words like opening, opened, opens will also be considered, and so will systems, systemic, and so on.

If the query looks like:

"open system"

The system will look for the exact occurence of the open system string among all the known metadata records.
