Search for a phrase in texts from a specific domain

One way to restrict your search to a specific domain (one or more than one) is to use the Query Builder function.
  1. Open the Query Builder - either from the File menu where you choose New and then Query Builder or by clicking on the Query Builder icon.
  2. Click in the right hand, red box. Choose Edit and then SGML. A box marked SGML pops up.
  3. From the list in the top left part of the SGML-box you choose catRef (if you cannot see catRef, make sure the box Show header tags is ticked)
  4. From the bottom left list you choose written_domain.
  5. Click on Add. A new box (Attribute query) with a list of domains pops up.
  6. Select the appropriate value (for example Leisure or World Affairs) and click OK.
  7. Back in the SGML box you click OK and are taken back to the Query Builder where some values have been added to the box on the right.
  8. Click on the line pointing down from the box on the right. A new red box appears.
  9. Click in the new box and select Edit and then Phrase. The Phrase Query window opens
  10. Type in your search phrase and click OK to be taken back to the Query Builder window.
  11. In the Query Builder window you just click OK to make the search for your phrase in the domain you have specified.
