3.1. Specifying the corpus to be searched
Document Actions
The corpus to be searched is displayed in the box to the right of Data base:. If you right clicked a node and chose MetaData Search in the context menu, this node is also at top of the window (e.g. 'within corpus "IMDI-corpora"' in Figure 3.1). At the same time, you cannot change the search database by clicking the button. Changing the search database is possible if you have clicked .
For metadata search to work, you need to enter the name and
location of the *.data file that contains the
metadata information of the corresponding corpus (see Section 3.1.1). Many corpora (at least the
corpora on the server) provide you with predefined
*.data files, but you also have the possibility to
create your own files for locally stored corpora (see Section 3.1.2).
