AI-generatedOverview
This node allows users to perform search queries on the Dikda digital archive, which is the Slovak National Library's digital archive. It supports various query types including simple queries, extended DisMax (edismax) queries, and match-all queries. Users can filter results by document models, control pagination, sorting, and fields returned, and enable advanced features like faceting and grouping. This node is useful for retrieving and filtering digital archive documents based on complex search criteria, making it ideal for researchers, librarians, and digital archivists.
Use Case Examples
- A researcher wants to find all periodicals and monographs related to a specific topic using a simple query string.
- A librarian needs to perform an advanced search using the edismax query parser to boost certain fields like title and authors.
- A user wants to retrieve all documents matching any content (match all) and group results by a specific field.
