Edit Query

Shows the definition of a query. Edit it and click Save.

• Name
  The name of the query. This should be a legal file name, since that is how queries and results are stored.
• Description
  A description of what is being found. This will be the default title for the results.
• Aggregation Mode
  How the map marker displays the books for that place.
  • oldest
    The number displayed is the date of the earliest book in this place. Any link offered is to this earliest book.

    The number displayed is the date of the latest book in this place. Any link offered is to this latest book.
  • count
    The number displayed is the number of books in this place. Links are offered to all the books until the number gets too large.

  The server against which the query is run.
• Definition
  The search field and search value to match.
