Hi! The command line search interface you are looking for is implemented as "simple search". It is safe to just forget about the "advanced search" as it is actually quite limited compared to simple search. (Please note that we do very complex queries using this in join2, as we actually produce all publication stats for internal evaluation using this interface. Ok, the computer uses this interface, but you could acually enter all searches by hand as well.)
For field values: invenio comes with a bunch of predefined fields like title instead of ti. If you want to you could add new indices with new fields and/or rename the indices already present. However, I'd suggest to use replacements sparingly. For a user it is much easier if all systems use the same names.

I would like to know if Invenio can be used to search a bibliographic database with records written in XML, and if Invenio is (or can be) fitted with an expert “command line” search interface (combining Booleans, parentheses, truncations, proximity operators etc). An example of command-line query can be something like: (("MEASURING-INSTRUMENTS" or "IN-CORE-INSTRUMENTS) in de) or (((reactor instrum*) or (nuclear instrum*) or (physical adj instrum* adj control*) or (measur* near5 (instrum* or syst*))) in ti,ab) “ti” meaning “title”; “ab” meaning “abstract”; “de” meaning “descriptors”; “*” being the truncation; “adj” meaning “adjacent to”; “near” is a proximity operator, the number indicates the vicinity If somebody can give me the information, it would be greatly appreciated.
