Index-field search

Use an index-field search to find archive documents by the values of their index fields. The index field search is similar to an advanced search in internet search engines.

The search in index fields is linked with AND. The results will only yield archive documents that match all specified search terms.
In individual archives and archive groups, you can combine a fulltext search with an index field search. For this kind of combined search, the search terms are linked with AND. The results will only yield archive documents that match all specified search terms.
