Filtering results in EP Bulletin search

[magister]

I would like to be able to add additional search criteria which do not appear to be available to me. Is there any way in which I can combine an existing answer set with some other term, to limit the answers to only those records which have the other term *present*, irrespective of its value. E.g. an operation equivalent to $1 AND PUB1=YES which would limit my set 1 answers to only those cases which had been granted.
The PUB1 field appears to be only searchable by a specific value, not by presence/absence in the record.
Thanks

Please try $1 and PUB1 = * ("*" means all documents having a PUB1 date whatever its value)

Best regards

Duh! It's obvious once you say it. Thank you for your reply.

If the field you want to search (in this case, PUB1) is not searchable by presence/absence in the record, one workaround could be to use a wildcard character to search for any value in that field, and then combine it with your additional search criteria.

For example, if you want to limit your set 1 answers to only those cases which have a field called "ADDITIONAL_TERM" present, you could try the following search query:

Set 1 results AND ADDITIONAL_TERM=*

This would retrieve only those records from your set 1 results that have a non-empty value in the "ADDITIONAL_TERM" field, regardless of the value itself. You could then further refine your search by adding additional search criteria as needed, such as:

Set 1 results AND ADDITIONAL_TERM=* AND PUB1=YES

This would limit your results to only those cases that have both the "ADDITIONAL_TERM" field present and the value of "PUB1" equal to "YES".
