| To return possible field values for a facet field you can perform a query without a search term and filters. | https://api.finna.fi/v1/search?lookfor=&facet[]=format&prettyPrint=1&limit=0 |
A query may be targeted to a specific (non-facet) index field by including the field in the search term. Note: put facet fields in the filter-parameter. For example: ?lookfor=format:0/Book/ (not supported) ?lookfor=&filter[]=format:0/Book/ (use this instead) | |
NOT & AND filters | |
The search term may also include a more complex query, for example a target (non-facet) field or a logical operator. See also 'type' parameter of Search action. Search using search terms "sibelius" and "festival" | https://api.finna.fi/v1/search?lookfor=sibelius+AND+festival |
