Advanced Search – SMK Requirements
We need to be able to compose advanced search strings using Boolean operators (including brackets) or a similar approach, not just in keyword searches, but also in field based searches.
In principle all fields (whether CS Core or extensions) should be searchable across record types. And each field should be allowed to appear more than once in an extended search string.
Concept search (i.e. a search on a larger concept returns that concept as well as things that fall under that larger concept) is a must have to SMK.
Use cases:
All works of art on paper by artists born between 1900 and 1950
All works of art by Henri Matisse currently on display
All works of art acquired between 01.01.2010 and 31.12.2010
All works of art by female artists acquired in 1980
All works of art in either KMS (department) or KKS (department) dated between 1500 and 1650
All works of art by living artists, or artists who died after 31.12.1941
All works of art with data in the Object Production Note field
All works of art with the term Founder's Mark in the Object Production Note field
All works of art currently on loan (within the museum)
All works of art deposited at external locations
All paintings acquired before 1850
All Flemish artists born before 1700
