Features

Search Engine

Powered by MongoDB
More than 1 million documents
As many as 50+ metadata fields
17 single field indexes and 1 text index
Supports full-text search, but sometimes slow
Accepts JSON to construct complicated query expressions

Search Syntax

Full-text search
Keyword-style search
JSON string

Redirects

arXiv identifier
Digital object identifier (DOI)
Only one result is found for your query

Full-text Search

Match any of the search terms
Search for an exact phrase
Exclude documents that contain a term

Keyword-style Search

Specify equality condition
Equality match on fields within an embedded document
Specify AND conditions on multiple fields

Search Array Fields

Specify OR conditions
Specify AND conditions
Specify OR as well as AND conditions

Match a specific element at a particular index
Match a field in the embedded document using the array index
Match a field in the embedded document without specifying the index

Query Operators

Match all values that are not equal to a specified value
Match any of the values specified in an array
Match none of the values specified in an array

Match values that are greater than a specified value
Match values that are less than a specified value
Match values that are greater than or equal to a specified value
Match values that are less than or equal to a specified value

Join query clauses with a logical OR
Join query clauses with a logical AND
Join query clauses with a logical NOR

Match documents that have the specified field
Select documents if a field is of the specified type
Select documents if the array field is a specified size

Select documents where values match a specified regular expression
Match documents that satisfy a JavaScript expression
Perform full-text search

Date Range

Sepecify the date in the form of yyyy-mm-dd or part of it
Sepecify the date with date-range and a special word
Sepecify the date with date-from and date-to

Cursor Methods

Order documents in the result set
Set the starting point of the result set
Limit the number of documents to return

More Search Examples

Mixing of full-text search and keyword-style search
Specify how many results are shown per page
Specify the page number of search results

Search Tips

The field names of arrays are plurals
Keyword-style queries on most fields are case-sensitive
Always specify categories to filter eprints
Avoid full-text search when possible
Specify a limit if there are maybe too many results
Try to specify more conditions if no results are found
