The Basic Search function allows you to search for a keyword across a predefined set of metadata fields available in the Solr index (e.g. title, subject, description, contributor, date, format, rights, full text). In the current DAMS implementation, a collection namespace can be selected to limit the search space. The display of search results is identical to the results display for an advanced search.

The search results pages list all matches to either Basic or Advanced Search queries. As a default, the search results are ordered by Relevancy, which is determined by the Solr server's ranking configuration.
- In order to sort the search results by a different parameter, click on one of the options in the grey box labeled "Sort options" at the top of the page.
- Click on the orange arrow symbol next to the selected sorting option to reverse the sort order.
For each entry in the results list, the DAMS will display a preview thumbnail and a selection of metadata fields.
