<para>
Limits the search to a given set of targets specified by the
filter. The filter consists a comma separated list of
- setting+operator+args pairs. The setting is a Pazpar2 setting
+ <emphasis>setting</emphasis>+<emphasis>operator</emphasis>+<emphasis>args</emphasis>
+ pairs. The <emphasis>setting</emphasis> is a Pazpar2 setting
(such as <literal>pz:id</literal>).
- The operator is either = (string match)
- or ~ (substring match). The args is a list of values separated
- by | (or , one of the values). The idea is that only targets
- with a setting matching one of the values given will be included
- in the search.
+ The <emphasis>operator</emphasis> is either
+ <literal>=</literal> (string match)
+ or <literal>~</literal> (substring match).
+ The <emphasis>args</emphasis> is a list of values separated
+ by <literal>|</literal> (or , one of the values).
+ The idea is that only targets with a setting matching one of
+ the values given will be included in the search.

- Narrows the search by one or more fields (typicall facets).
- The limit is sequence of one or more field=value pairs separate

- A value that contains a comma should be escaped by backslash (\).
- The pz:fazetmap configuration item defines how the searches are
- mapped to a database.
