Reclamation Information Sharing Environment (RISE)

The RISE Catalog Search page helps you find data by searching and filtering the datasets published in RISE. The Catalog Search page includes a search bar, a variety of filters, and a list of results (catalog records). When you first arrive at the Catalog Search page, you will see all the published catalog records in the search results. As you apply filters and enter search terms, the number of records in the search results will decrease. The page also provides options for ordering search results.  

Which fields are searched?

Catalog Search will return results that contain search terms in the catalog record title, description, tags, or generation effort or the item title or description.

Search Terms

Searches can be performed for one or more search terms. Spaces delimit terms, both inside and outside of quotation marks, and commas and other non-operator characters are treated as spaces.

Search Operators

The following search operators are available: 

• NOT: Typing the “NOT” operator (all caps) with a space before a search will require that the search term not appear in each search result (e.g., NOT lake).
• OR: Typing the “OR” operator (all caps) between search terms will rank results higher that include either or both terms (e.g., lake OR dam). Note, this is also the default functionality for any terms unaffected by operators.
• AND: Typing the “AND” operator (all caps) between search terms will require both terms appear in one of more of the search results searched fields (e.g., lake AND dam).
• Plus Operator (+): Typing the “+” operator before a search term will require that the search term appear in one of more of the search results searched fields (e.g., +denver). The “+” operator may also be used with a space before the term (e.g., lake + dam), in which case it will function the same as the “AND” operator, requiring both the left and the right terms.
• Minus Operator (-): Typing the “-” operator before a search term will require that the search term not appear in each search result (e.g., -lake). This is equivalent to the “NOT” operator, and will function the same with a space before the term (e.g., - lake).
• Quotation Marks (“”): Putting quotation marks around a search phrase will rank results higher that include that exact phrase (e.g., “de los”). Quotation marks may be combined with other operators to require inclusion (e.g., +“de los”) or exclusion (e.g., -“de los”) of the term phrase.

Search operator details:

• Operators are parsed with terms from left to right. 
• With the exception of quotation marks, only one operator will affect a term.
• A term affected by an operator from the left will ignore the effects of following operators (e.g., in a search for -denver AND water, the “AND” operator would not affect “denver” and “denver” matches would be excluded from results).
• If multiple operators exist before a term, the left-most is used and the rest discarded (e.g., denver AND -water; the “-“ operator would be ignored).
• Operator characters are treated as spaces within quotation marks.

Search Result Ordering

 Available search result ordering options include:

• Relevance:  Orders records by most to least relevant. Relevance considers the number of times each search term (and each part of a multi-word search term) is found across the searched fields.
• Last Record Update (Newest): Orders records by the date the record was last updated, with more recently updated records appearing higher in the search results. Record update dates consider only updates to the record metadata; update dates for catalog item metadata or underlying datasets are not considered.
• Last Record Update (Oldest): Orders records by the date the record was last updated, with less recently updated records appearing higher in the search results. Record update dates consider only updates to the record metadata; update dates for catalog item metadata or underlying datasets are not considered.
• Alphabetical by Title: Orders records by the record title in ascending order (A to Z).

By default, search results are ordered by relevance. Use the dropdown to select a different ordering option.

Accessing Data

Each search result shows the name of the record and the number of items associated with it (in parentheses). Use the expansion arrow next to a record to see a description of the record and a list of items associated with the record. 

Click on a record title to view the Catalog Record details page about that record, which includes metadata about the record and links to datasets (catalog items).

Click on an item title to view the Catalog Item details page for the item, which includes metadata about the item and a link to access the dataset.
