Search

Search is one of the most important functionalities in the gCube system. Depending on the collections you want search through you can perform different kinds of searches. The default option is to search for a term anywhere in the selected collections, or you can search for more specific criteria. There is also the option to browse the contents of a collection and their distinct values based on a specific criterion.
After performing a search you can refine its results by searching for more specific terms in the current results. In order to perform a search or a browse, you first have to select collections. For this purpose you have to use the Select Collections portlet. Independently of the search type all results are displayed by the Results portlet.
