Documentation
Definition
The linking operator states how a search criterion should be linked within a search query. This is relevant for those content providers with which a search query can be set (search engines, online databases). If on the tab for the preselection of content providers, you only choose those with which no query can be set (for example homepages, news services), then the linking operator is ignored.
You set which linking operators a content provider supports and which which syntax must be used for this in the Source Profile Builder: Start Source Profile Builder
The following characteristic values are possible:
- 'AND' link
All the search criteria linked by this operator must be contained in the results documents. - 'OR' link
At least one of the search criteria linked by this operator must be contained in the results documents. - 'NOT' link
The search criterion cannot be contained in the results documents.
Tip: Use the input help of the "Editorial Workbench" in the definition of search criteria for a query (on the tab "Information requirements"):
- NO entry is automatically converted into an 'AND' link, since this is the preset linking operator.
- Partial entries ('a' or 'an', lower or uppercase) for 'AND', the same as that 'o' for 'OR' and 'n' or 'no' for 'NOT')

Dependencies
The syntax for linking operators is maintained using Customizing. A corresponding transaction exists for every type of linking operator ('AND', 'OR' and 'NOT').
A template already exists, which you can copy from the Customizing client and adapt if necessary.
