@cindex SRU
To search a SRU database, simply enter one or more terms into the
-z39.50 search field:
+SRU search field:
@example
-morgentha
+morgenthau
@end example
-This will return all records that contain @samp{morgenthau}.
+This will return all records that contain @samp{morgenthau} in any field.
-More genarlly, SRU uses
@uref{https://www.loc.gov/standards/sru/cql/spec.html,CQL queries}.
-Follow the lin for more information what those look like.
+To search for a phrase, put it in quotes:
+@example
+"politics among"
+@end example
+To search in a particular index, enter a
+string of the following kind into the SRU search field:
+@example
+dc.title = politics
+@end example
+where @samp{dc.title} is an index specifying the fields of database records to
+be searched, @samp{=} is the operator to use for searching,
+and @samp{politics} is the text string of interest.
+Boolean operators may be used to search several indexes or several terms:
+@example
+dc.title="american politics" and dc.author=morgenthau
+@end example
+which will find works by Morgenthau with the phrase @samp{American politics}
+in the title.
+In addition, parenthesis can be used to construct combine multiple boolean
expressions.
+
+More generally, SRU uses
@uref{https://www.loc.gov/standards/sru/cql/spec.html,CQL queries}.
+Follow the link for further specifications.
