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.
- 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.
- Click in the right hand, red box. Choose Edit and then SGML. A box marked SGML pops up.
- 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)
- From the bottom left list you choose written_domain.
- Click on Add. A new box (Attribute query) with a list of domains pops up.
- Select the appropriate value (for example Leisure or World Affairs) and click OK.
- 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.
- Click on the line pointing down from the box on the right. A new red box appears.
- Click in the new box and select Edit and then Phrase. The Phrase Query window opens
- Type in your search phrase and click OK to be taken back to the Query Builder window.
- In the Query Builder window you just click OK to make the search for your phrase in the domain you have specified.
