23 <para>Initially, or when you want to change targets, start with the
24 <guilabel role="bold">Service and Credentials</guilabel> area. Here you
25 choose the remote databases you wish to search. Preconfigured servers are
26 listed under Services. If any require authentication to access, you will
27 see username and password boxes to the right. </para>
29 <step>Click all the databases you wish to search simultaneously (see the
30 Note about which fields can be used).</step>
31 <step>Fill in user information for any that require it.</step>
32 <step>Click <guibutton>Save as Default</guibutton> to preserve these
33 settings for next time.</step>
35 <para>The <guilabel role="bold">Query</guilabel> section is where you
36 enter a search. The databases you select control which search fields you
37 can use. You may use any combination of fields that are active (not grayed
38 out), but be aware that not all fields are active for every database.
39 Select just one database to see which fields are active for that database.
42 <para>If you are searching multiple databases, you will only get results
43 from those that support the fields you're searching! For example,
44 <guilabel>Keyword</guilabel> and <guilabel>Subject</guilabel> are only
45 active if the local catalog is selected, so using those fields in a
46 combined database search guarantees that you will only get results from
47 the local catalog.</para>
49 <para>The <guilabel>Query</guilabel> section has three buttons.</para>
51 <listitem><guibutton>Search</guibutton> begins searching on
52 the criteria entered in the search fields.</listitem>
53 <listitem><guibutton>Clear Form</guibutton> resets all fields to empty.
55 <listitem><guibutton>Raw Search</guibutton> is an advanced interface for
56 using Prefix Query Format to build complex searches. See
57 <xref linkend="rawsearches" />.</listitem>
59 <para>The <guilabel role="bold">Results</guilabel> pane displays the results from the
60 most recent search. Information about each record retrieved appears on a
61 separate summary line, with various columns of information.</para>
63 <listitem>If more than the default number of results is available, use
64 <guibutton>Fetch More Results</guibutton> to add the next set to the
