When using CataList’s Quick Search, you can now pre-filter your search results to return only products in either print or digital formats.

Use quotation marks (“ “) around your search term or phrase to find an exact match.

In the Quick Search bar, the quotation marks indicate that you are looking for an exact match to your search phrase in titles or series names; contributor names; BISAC or Thema subjects; publisher, imprint, or supplier names.

This is especially useful for cases where:

• Your search terms include few, short, or common words. Example: ““As You Like It”

• You’re searching for a phrase with repeated words. Example: “There There”

• You want to specifically include the title prefix to limit your possible matches. Example: “The Help”

• You do not want to wildcard at the ends of your search terms. Example: You want to see matches for “dragon” but exclude dragons, dragonbreath, dragonheart, etc.

You can also use quotation marks in Advanced Search fields to find exact matches for your Boolean search terms.

Publishers and sales representatives have a new set of Advanced Search filters. You can now limit the search results to items that are in your own private custom catalogues, that are in your account’s collaborative catalogues, or alternatively the title that are not in any type of custom catalogue.

You can multi-select these filter options. When multiple options ar selected, the system uses an OR logic when returning matches. So if you select the two options: 'In my private catalogues'; and, 'In collaborative catalogues', the system will return all titles that are in at least one of the two catalogue types - not only the titles that are in both types.

You can now search for products using the Title/Series parameter. If you're not sure if a search term is a book’s title or if it’s the series name, using this combined search parameter will save you time in adjusting the Advanced Search form to suit your search.

We've also expanded the default number of opened parameters to three: Title/series, Contributor, and Imprint – three of the most useful parameters to get you started on finding your books. Use one, all three, or even more parameters, to run your search.
