Similar to searching by specifying entry tags, e-catalog allows one or more of these entry tags to be represented with a keyword index synonym name. The search can be limited to certain fields and entries within a bibliographic record without typing several entry tags. When searching by words or phrase type the search term followed by the Keyword Index policy name. e-catalog searches only the specified entries/fields represented by this abbreviated name.
Other formats use different entry tags and fields appropriate to the database you are searching. Refer to the following table for a list of e-catalog equivalent search fields for keyword indexes.
| Search Field | Internal Synonyms | Keyword Indexes Searched |
| author | AU | 100, 110, 111, 700, 710, 711, 720 |
| title | TI | 130, 245, 440, 730, 740 |
| subject | SU | 600, 610, 611, 630, 650, 651, 655, 690, 691 |
| series | SER | 400, 410, 411, 440, 490, 800, 810, 811, 830, 840 |
Example:
To find any materials with the author Charles Dickens, type Dickens {AU} in the Words or Phrase
field. e-catalog locates items by searching all of the MARC entry fields represented by the keyword index
synonym, AU; in this example e-catalog will search the 100, 110, 111, 700, 710, 711 entry tags.
