🔍 Improvements to search

To improve your search experience, we have implemented a new search query syntax:

Search for an exact phrase:
"search term"
Searches for the exact phrase in quotation marks in any field.

Examples:

  • “2011 census”

  • “carbon dioxide”

Search in a specific field:
fieldname:term
Searches for the term specifically in a selected field. A list of field names can be found in the table below.

Examples:

  • summary.title:census

  • summary.abstract:"linked data resource"

Field Names

Data Class

Data Element

Datasets/Terminology/Data Standards

class.name class.description

element.name element.description

summary.abstract summary.keywords summary.publisher.name summary.title summary.publicationDate
summary.publisher.description summary.publisher.identifier
summary.publisher.logo
documentation.description

Search with boolean operators:

We now support the three basic boolean operators:
term1 AND term2: returns results that contain both term1 and term2.
term1 OR term2: return results that contain either term1 or term2.
term1 NOT term2: return results that contain term1 but exclude those that contain term2.

Examples:

  • Cancer AND tumour sample

  • COVID OR coronavirus

  • Wales NOT England

Wildcard Queries:
term*: Matches terms that start with "term", followed by any characters.
*term*: Matches terms that contain "term" anywhere within them.

Examples:

  • corona*

  • *audit*

Field Boosting:
title:term^2:
Use this to give higher weight or importance to matches found in the title field.

Examples:

  • title:2022^2

  • title:NHS^2

Fuzzy Matching:
term~: Performs a fuzzy search for terms similar to "term" using edit distance.
term~0.8: Adjusts the fuzziness level to 0.8 for more lenient matching.

Examples:

  • health~

  • liver~0.8
