= chase, look-up [lookup], search, search request, searching, hunt, hunting, reaching, trawl, querying.

Ex. Enthusiasm in a searcher, of course, all are agreed on: 'he must delight in the chase for its own sake'.

Ex. With online display, the alphabetical arrangement can become less significant, since all look-ups can be achieved with the computer, and there is less need for the scanning of alphabetical lists.

Ex. Even a user who starts a search with a specific subject in mind, may be seeking a specific subject which does not quite match requirements.

Ex. The search request is displayed on the screen and assigned a number in the extreme left column.

Ex. Indexing and searching, then, are integral one to another, and so a few comments on searching are in order here = Por lo tanto, la indización y la búsqueda son complementarios y así pues es pertinente hacer algunos comentarios aquí sobre la búsqueda.

Ex. If a search, manual or on-line, appears likely to last more than a few minutes, and should the librarian decide not to encourage the enquirer to join in the hunt, good practice requires that the visitor be given something to be going on with and invited to sit down.

Ex. It was not until the 16th century that falconry and stag hunting gained the significance that it retained until 1789.

Ex. 'Searching' or even 'ordering' would be better, so long as we didn't imply by either of them an 'irritable reaching after fact and reason'.

Ex. 'Systematic review' is the process whereby similar studies, identified from a comprehensive trawl of numerous databases, are summarized in digestible form.

Ex. The project consortium will complete a feasibility study into the automatic indexing of free text and the multilingual querying of text databases = El consorcio creado realizar el proyecto llevará a cabo un estudio de viabilidad sobre la indización automática de texto libre y la consulta en varios idiomas de bases de datos de texto.

DOCUMENTO NACIONAL DE IDENTIDAD

It is mandatory in many Spanish-speaking countries to carry a national identity card, or Documento Nacional de Identidad (DNI), showing the bearer's personal details and a photo. In Spain it is also called a carné, and all Spanish citizens have to carry one from the age of fourteen. The card is renewed every five or ten years at police stations, and must be shown to police upon demand. A similar document, the “Cédula (Nacional) de Identidad” is carried in Colombia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Venezuela, Argentina and Chile. In 2006 Spain began introducing an electronic identity card, which has a microchip containing the holder's personal details in digitized form.

Ex. Documents which will not be evident to the browser of shelves include: documents out on loan, documents which might be obtained by inter-library loan, and any collections which are kept in closed access.

Ex. When a library member asks for a fictional book he usually frames his request in this way: 'I am looking for a book by Victor Canning'.

Ex. The level of specificity that is desirable in any index is a function of the collection being indexed, its use and its patrons.

Ex. A book index is an alphabetically arranged list of words or terms leading the reader to the numbers of pages on which specific topics are considered, or on which specific names appear.

Ex. The system permits the requester to specify up to five potential lending libraries, and the system transmits the requests to these libraries one at a time.

Ex. To read a borrower label place the scanner on the left side of the label and move it from left to right across the bar codes, pressing lightly to keep it in direct contact with the label.

Ex. Users make suggestions for modifications and these are then channelled through a series of committees.
