5.A.1.6. Title Search -- Exact Match
Uses: Searches in fields that contain a title of a resource for an exact match on the complete string as specified. This search is useful for one or two word titles, often serials, where a less precise search may retrieve a very large result set. This search is also needed to conduct a follow-up search when the user selects terms from a full title index (e.g., from a SCAN).
Note: The exact match title search may result in zero results if the server indexes an entire field including the statement of responsibility (i.e., information about the person(s) or entities responsible for the intellectual creation of the resource).
