The ‘Search bar’ allows you to query all metadata fields of the Data and Publications catalogue for any occurrence of text or a Catalogue ID. Use the ‘Search bar’ facility to type your query and then click on the magnifying glass to execute your search.
Examples:
- Entering ‘Bathymetry’ will display results that have an occurrence of ‘Bathymetry’ in any metadata field of the catalogue record, for e.g. ‘Title’, ‘Abstract’, ‘Lineage’, ‘Purpose’ or any metadata field that may make reference to it.
- Entering an ‘author’s’ name will display results that have an occurrence of the name in any metadata field of the catalogue metadata record, for e.g. ‘Author’, ‘Point of Contact’ or any metadata field that may make reference to it.
- Entering an ‘eCat ID’ will display catalogue records with an occurrence of the catalogue ID in any metadata field of the catalogue metadata record, for e.g. ‘eCat ID’ field, ‘associated record’ or any metadata field that may make reference to it.
The ‘Advanced Search’ allows you to query a specific metadata field. Click on ‘Advanced’ in the search bar to open the ‘Advanced Search’. The Data and Publications Tool will search that specific field in all catalogue metadata records for any occurrence of the entered text, author’s name or catalogue ID.
Examples:
- Entering ‘Bathymetry’ in the ‘Title’ search will query the ‘Title’ field of the metadata of all catalogue records and only display the records with ‘Bathymetry’ in their Title.
- Entering a name in the ‘Author’ field will only display the records with that name in the Author field of the catalogue record.
- Entering a catalogue ID in the ‘eCat ID’ search will query the ‘eCat ID’ field of the metadata of all catalogue records and should only display that specific catalogue record.

The presence of an asterisk beside names that appear under the Title of the record denotes they are a co-author rather than an author.
