person:rosa parks will look for people with rosa AND parks in their name
- publisher:harper will looks for any books published by a publisher with "harper" in their name. (Publisher has never been a controlled field in the library world, so you can see we have a ton of variants of this famous publisher in the search facets.)
You can also blend them together:
- subject:travel place:istanbul will look for books about travel in Istanbul.
Or use date ranges (there's no UI for this yet):
- first_publish_year:[1200 TO 1400] will show you all the books published between 1200 & 1400 (and probably lots of results where we have no publish date, which effectively means published in year 0)
You can also search the special field that has everything dumped into it without any stemming:
- birth_date:1973 will find any authors born in 1973
- rome type:place will find you subjects about Rome that relate to the city; the place. Other types are time & person.
