15. How to Make Complex Queries Using "Textarea"


For most complicated searches, forms can contain a "TEXTAREA" called "For Experts Only" at BioPD.
In this box one can write the complete search criteria.
Try to fill the following LIVE example using this query:

title=dystrophin and investigator=salviati or (amount>300 and amount<500)

For Experts Only:

In this case one must know exactly which are the NAMES (not the descriptive terms!) of the fields he/she wants to search on.
The names of the fields and their descriptive term equivalent are reported in a Legend that accompanies every database.
