Overview

The Concept Search Module was created to improve the search for concepts. It is separated into a basic and an advanced concept search.

Basic Search

The basic search allows a full text search. It is supported by an autocomplete widget.

Advanced Search

The advanced search has a lot more search criteria to filter out unwanted results e.g. by concept class. It is also supported by an autocomplete widget and a date picker.

User Guide

A manual for the Concept Search features can be found here: Advanced Concept Search Manual.

Install Guide

The Concept Search Module can be downloaded here: Concept Search Module

After installing the Concept Search Module you can access it via the admin panel, a new group with the name Concept Search will be created there. It does not replace the build in concept search.

Upgrade Guide

If you would like to upgrade your existing version of the Concept Search Module simply install the newer version over the old one. See Install Guide.

It is recommended to keep your old version as backup to avoid incompatibility issues.
