====== MODS Search ======

Using the tool to search our MODS records.

===== Setup =====

Grab the shortcut to mods-search.exe (the shortcut with Du Bois's head on it) from ''r:/credo/mods-search'' and copy it to your desktop.  Double click on the shortcut icon and a black window with ''http://0.0.0.0:8080'' should open up:

Point your browser to http://localhost:8080 and you should see this:

Search away!

**NB** The database is updated about once a day so the records you just created are probably not in there yet.  It's probably not too hard to find those, however ;)

===== Tips =====

You can search specific fields using the drop-down menu below the search box.  "Keyword" searches the entire content of the MODS record.  You can also use boolean values to search, e.g.:

James T. = Search for occurrences of both "James" and "T."

James OR T. = Search for records with "James" or with "T."

"James T." = Search for the phrase "James T."

Jam* = Search for anything that starts with Jam (James, Jamberry, Jamz, etc...)





===== Utilities =====

==== ingest ====

**Usage:**

Use this script to ingest MODS records into the mods-search database
for use with the mods-search tool.

To ingest all new records and update any old ones that have been changed, use this command:

<code>ingest -u staging</code>

This script runs recursively so it will look for all MODS records starting with the directory specified in the last argument.  The MODS records must have a ''.xml'' extension for this to work.

To only add new records and not update changed records, use this command:

<code>ingest -a </code>

===== Database =====

The SQLite database for the mods-search tool is in ''r:/credo/mods-search/db''.
