VizieR search capability revisited

Created: March 17, 2020 - 15:17 CET

The new functionality analyses free text to search catalogues in the VizieR collection.

It allows to specify the search with a syntax adapted from ADS bumblebee (e.g: abstract: "orbits").

The new functionality is available in the different VizieR interfaces.

In particular, the "Catalogue collection" is an advanced user-friendly interface.

The search engine uses the ElasticSearch indexation of the VizieR ReadMe files.

**Note: ** The catalogs lists returned by the new interface may differ from the previous one. In case of problems, please contact us
