There are four search methods (see tabs):

1. Search
For searching in the   catalogue. No option to go to other databases.
Your search command leads straight to a list of titles.
If you select a list and then go to <Advanced search>, your query and the result are saved, and can then be extended or restricted.
All indexes are available. Use the search method <Index search> for a different type of search.
Further search tools are phrase searching, wildcards and boolean operators.
At the bottom of the screen, the number of titles you wish to see on each page can be indicated. If you choose a low number, you will have to move to a next page often. If you choose a high number it will take longer to load each page and you will have to do more scrolling.
If a search results in one single title, no title list is displayed. The full title is shown immediately.
