Many specific records can be searched for regular expressions or numerical limits. 3DB Browser gives you the option of saving object sets resulting from queries. This saved set can be used as a starting point for further database operations or as a reference for your work. Every saved set includes the date of the search and the query from which it was generated. The various fields shown on the 3DBBrowser interface will be ANDed together before searching.
All fields are insensitive to case.
The full text searches used by the 3DB Browser are based on the Glimpse indexing and query system. Entries whose ID codes begin with 0 and which have the extension .noc are bibliographic files only, with no coordinates. These are included in the searches for your reference. As the structure described in the .noc file becomes available, the .noc file is removed from the server. The list of pending entries and those entries on-hold is also searched, although with slightly different rules.
