13Greenstone can search across several different collections as though they were
14one. This is done by specifying a list of other collections to be searched along with the current one. Under "Design Sections", click "Cross-Collection Search".

17The Cross-Collection Search view shows a checklist of available collections. The
18current collection is ticked and cannot be deselected. To add another
19collection to be searched in parallel, click it in the list (click again to
20remove it). If only one collection is selected, there is no cross-collection
21searching.
22<p></p>
23If the individual collections do not have the same indexes (including subcollection partitions and language partitions) as each other, cross-collection searching will not work properly. The user will only be able to search using indexes common to all collections.
