<p class="largebold"><a name="Multiple Databases">Searching Multiple Member Nodes</a></p>
<p class="regular">One-Mercury allows searching of multiple member node data sources to find the data
set of interest. The default setting is to search all member node data sources. To limit the member nodes
searched, hightlight only the member nodes to search within the member node selection input.</p>
<p class="largebold"><a name="Free Text Searches">Free Text Searches</a></p>
<p class="regular">To search all the metadata and documentation we have for a data file, use the <b>‘Full Text’</b> search field at the top of the search area.
Enter a word
or phrase in the input area. Phrases should be in double quotes,
else <b>One-Mercury</b> will find records that have all of the words entered.</p>
<p class="regular">Example: Searching for <b>"John Paul Jones"</b> will find only those records
with that exact phrase. Searching for John Paul Jones will find any record that has each word
John and Paul and Jones anywhere in the result.</p>

<p class="regular">If you want to narrow down where in the metadata documents <b>One-Mercury</b>
searches in, use<b> Fielded Searches</b> input area. This allows only the desired field to be searched.
Multiple 'fielded searches' can be combined by choosing the desired boolean operator from the
pick lists right of the text inputs. The default field is 'full text' and the default boolean operator is 'AND'.</p>
