 Valid values for [search-type] may be found by consulting your searchspecs.yaml configuration file -- or, for a simpler approach, just perform a search of the type you desire and copy and paste the resulting URL. Valid values for [search-type] may be found by consulting your searchspecs.yaml configuration file -- or, for a simpler approach, just perform a search of the type you desire and copy and paste the resulting URL.
  
 +=== Complex Searches ===
 +
 +More complicated searches can be constructed by specifying arrays of lookfor/type/bool parameters with numbered groups:
 +
 +lookfor<N>[]= array of search terms in group N\\
 +type<N>[]= array of search fields in group N\\
 +bool<N>[]= boolean operator used by group N (AND/OR/NOT)
 +
 +Additionally a top level operator can be specified between groups using the join parameter:
 +
 +join= (AND/OR)
 +
 +Thus a search like "(title:foo OR author:bar) AND (NOT subject:baz)" can be represented as:
 +
 +<nowiki>http://[your-vufind-server]/[your-vufind-path]/Search/Results?join=AND&lookfor0[]=foo&type0[]=title&lookfor0[]=bar&type0[]=author&bool0[]=OR&lookfor1[]=baz&type1[]=subject&bool1[]=NOT</nowiki>
 +
 +The <N>[] syntax allows the repeated parameters to be amassed together, by group number.  The square brackets ([]) may be encoded in the URL's query string as %5B%5D.
