Enhanced Search is a more advanced search method that offers search flexibility and options. Patrons can enter simple or complex keyword search queries, then select the fields and Boolean operators for the search. Patrons can browse a list of indexed entries to select keywords. Enhanced Search also offers customizable drop-down lists of search fields, allowing librarians to choose which fields of the MARC record are searchable.
As with Standard Search, “See” and “See also” cross-references display with the search results when using the optional Authority Control module.
Both Standard and Enhanced Search allow for filtering search results by reading level program: Lexile, Fountas and Pinnell, or Accelerated Reader. Oasis also includes a Material Type filter which can be customized by the library to include any identifiable subsets of the collection.
Oasis provides a URL to retrieve a particular search. This URL can be copied and saved or emailed to provide access to the same query at another time.
