Referring to the search conditions used in 2 examples above:
- “accelerator_experiments.legacy_name:FNAL-E-0823”
- “documents.description:Article from SCOAP3”
any field of the record metadata can be searched for by using its path. The path is built by concatenating the nested keys (separated with “.”), followed by a “:” and the value for which to search, as follows:
- “accelerator_experiments.legacy_name:FNAL-E-0823″
- “documents.description:Article from SCOAP3″
You can consult the INSPIRE JSON Schema to see more JSON keys/properties for use in your search.
