Quick Search Button Configuration Dialog Box

To open this dialog box:
In Polaris Administration, select Profiles | PowerPAC | Quick search button configuration.

Use this dialog box to provide optional buttons with the quick search feature, instead of a search filter, on the Polaris PowerPAC portal page. The patron types the search text and selects a button to launch a particular type of search. You can offer Anywhere, Fiction, Nonfiction, My Library, My Library plus Articles, Subject, Title, Author, and Series buttons. For the Subject, Title, Author, and Series buttons, you can specify whether a keyword or browse search should be launched. See Customizing Portal Page Features.

• Enable quick search buttons - Select (check) this option to use quick search with search buttons. The remaining options become available for selection. If you select Enable quick search buttons but do not select any specific buttons, Polaris PowerPAC will use the default quick search feature instead of the quick search with options.

• Search button options - Select (check) each button option that you want to display for quick search. For each button you activate, select the search type (Browse or Keyword) that the button should launch.

Notes:
Selecting Anywhere, Fiction, Nonfiction, My Library, or My Library plus Articles always launches a keyword search. Anywhere looks for the search term in any indexed field. Fiction and Nonfiction scope the keyword search by these options. Selecting My Library searches only your library's database. If your library subscribes to EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) and has integrated EDS with Polaris PowerPAC, selecting My Library plus Articles searches your library's database plus articles from EDS.
