How can I search the catalog more granularly? How can I Query a specific field?

For more specific field-based searches, you may want to explore the Query based searches documented in Catalog Help.  

The sample Queries documented demonstrate the ability to search for notes, language notes, electronic links, identifiers, classifications, and specific title types. Query also allows users to search the holdings and item level metadata directly. 

For more examples and help, please submit requests in Catalog Feedback & Help - Ask a Librarian

Note: Booleans and phrased searches are only supported through the use of the Advanced Search options and Query. Query and Advanced Search inputs must be carefully constructed and will not support free text input into the dropdown search fields.
