MAST Search offers many search parameters in addition to the commonly used Search Parameter Overview. This enables more advanced searches for observations.
To add additional search parameters, choose a column and then add a condition for that column. Each additional parameter should follow one of the three parameter-constraint syntaxes: String Fields, Numeric Fields, and DateTime Fields.
The 'Target Descrip' column in the Add Condition feature has a data type of "substring", for which wildcard operators are automatically added at the beginning and end of the input string. For example, entering "jup" will search for all descriptions using"*jup*". Commas still work as with other data types, so entering "jup, white" will retrieve results with the condition "*jup*" or condition "*white*". |
Choose ColumnUse this dropdown to choose search columns. There are a few ways to find and select a search parameter column.

Add ConditionAfter choosing a search column to constrain, type the condition to apply on the search parameter in the 'Condition' box. Add conditions according to its proper field constraints: String Field, Numeric Field, and DateTime Field. See the Search Parameter Overview page for detailed descriptions of the constraint syntaxes and examples. |
