Re: Limiting a Search by URL

Larry --

At first, I did think about using 1209 for this search.  I checked with Ray
to see what he thought.  He said that 1209 was added specifically for
searching URNs, not URLs.  Ray can probably provide more detail on this if
you want.  But he suggested that 1032 might be a better choice.

Are we all okay with using Use attribute "1032"?  When I responded
to your earlier email, I didn't point out that there is another Use
attribute which may be a better choice (i.e., 1209).

    1032  (Doc-ID: An identifier or Doc-ID, assigned by a server,
           that uniquely identifies a document on that server. May
           or may not be persistent.  May be, for example, a URL.)

    1209  (Identifier - URN:  Uniform Resource Name)

        (Our server happens to support both attributes, but we map to
         different internal searches: the first only looks at 856 fields,
         the second includes other fields which might also contain a URN.)

I don't care which Use attribute the library community wants to use, but
the semantics for "1209" might be a better "fit".
