Free Text Search under the Menu Item »Dokumenter«
When it comes to free text search it is, like the term implies, entirely up to you which words you enter into the free text field. Try different options to combine and delimit your search words. With a few exceptions, the documents are Danish language only.
Combining Search Words
Combine search words with the two operators »AND« and »OR«.
Use »AND« if you want both search words to figure in a document: [rapport AND bandekriminalitet].
Use »OR« if both words have the same meaning or are closely related: [muskelhund OR kamphund].
Is the Word Ending Unknown? Use Truncation
Use truncation, if the ending of your search word is unknown. This is done by adding an asterisk * »*« at the end of the word: [folketing*].
Searching for a Phrase
Use the phrase function, if you want to search for a specific phrase. This is done by putting the phrase in inverted commas »””« to retain the exact word order: [”lov om social service”].
Metadata or Full Text
Just below the input field you can choose between searching in metadata »Søg i titel og resumé« or searching in the full text »Søg i hele dokumentteksten«.
The default setting is the metadata setting »Søg i titel og resumé«, which gives the most comprehensible search result.
Tick the box of »Søg i hele dokumentteksten« if you want to broaden your search. If you choose that option, you will search all text in all documents.
Limiting Your Search
You can limit your search by:
- Period (the sessional year) = »Samling«
- Committee = »Udvalg«
- Document type = »Dokumenttyper«
Tip: In the fold-down menu you can choose more than one value by holding down the Ctrl key and choosing the desired values.
The Sessional Year
Please note that the sessional year runs from the first Tuesday of October to the first Tuesday of October the following year.
In case of a general election, the sessional year is divided into two sessions. The first session »1. samling« is the period before the election date and the second session »2. samling« is the rest of the sessional year after the election date.
[2022-23 (2. samling)]
Advanced Search
For a more advanced search, you can choose the specific document type under the category »Dokumenter« in the left-menu.
Here you can limit or edit your search even more by searching for one specific document type. Use »Præciser søgning« in order to open your specific search.
