<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I created something here for staff that addressed some of their questions about using advanced search in the staff interface. A lot of their questions were particular to our local plugins, though, so those probably
wouldn’t make much sense to everyone else. However, in case it helps, here are two questions and answers from our current FAQ:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">You can truncate searches by using an asterisk (*) as a wildcard operator. Using this technique, you can perform truncations on the end of your search as
well as the beginning (the left-hand side). For example, you can search for pop* as well as *pop. </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">If doing the latter search, you might wonder if you can filter out all of the results that just contain the string pop in them (e.g. you want records that
have lollipop and afropop in their description, but not any with the word pop). Well, of course you can! Just throw in the not operator, and re-run this search: *pop NOT pop (upper-casing the Boolean here is required in our setup), which you can also write
as *pop -pop:</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">ArchivesSpace uses Solr, which in turn uses Lucene. So, any search operator or technique available with those technologies is likely to be supported by

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Has anyone developed local training material for reference archivists? If so, would you be willing to share it? And / or is there official ArchivesSpace community training material for reference archivists? Activities I’m thinking of
are like: complex searching in both the staff and public interfaces and producing reports / output that is useful for researchers (like a limited box list, search results, etc.)<o:p></o:p></p>
