36 <refsect1><title>DESCRIPTION</title>
38 The Pazpar2 configuration file, together with any referenced XSLT files,
39 govern Pazpar2's behavior as a client, and control the normalization and
40 extraction of data elements from incoming result records, for the
41 purposes of merging, sorting, facet analysis, and display.
45 The file is specified using the option -f on the Pazpar2 command line.
46 There is not presently a way to reload the configuration file without
47 restarting Pazpar2, although this will most likely be added some time
52 <refsect1><title>FORMAT</title>
54 The configuration file is XML-structured. It must be well-formed XML. All
55 elements specific to Pazpar2 should belong to the namespace
56 <literal>http://www.indexdata.com/pazpar2/1.0</literal>
57 (this is assumed in the
58 following examples). The root element is named "<literal>pazpar2</literal>".
59 Under the root element are a number of elements which group categories of
60 information. The categories are described below.
63 <refsect2 id="config-threads"><title>threads</title>
65 This section is optional and is supported for Pazpar2 version 1.3.1 and
66 later . It is identified by element "<literal>threads</literal>" which
67 may include one attribute "<literal>number</literal>" which specifies
68 the number of worker-threads that the Pazpar2 instance is to use.
69 A value of 0 (zero) disables worker-threads (all work is carried out
73 <refsect2 id="config-server"><title>server</title>
75 This section governs overall behavior of a server endpoint. It is identified
76 by the element "server" which takes an optional attribute, "id", which
77 identifies this particular Pazpar2 server. Any string value for "id"
81 elements are described below. From Pazpar2 version 1.2 this is
84 <variablelist> <!-- level 1 -->
89 Configures the webservice -- this controls how you can connect
90 to Pazpar2 from your browser or server-side code. The
91 attributes 'host' and 'port' control the binding of the
92 server. The 'host' attribute can be used to bind the server to
93 a secondary IP address of your system, enabling you to run
94 Pazpar2 on port 80 alongside a conventional web server. You
95 can override this setting on the command line using the option -h.
104 If this item is given, Pazpar2 will forward all incoming HTTP
105 requests that do not contain the filename 'search.pz2' to the
106 host and port specified using the 'host' and 'port'
107 attributes. The 'myurl' attribute is required, and should provide
108 the base URL of the server. Generally, the HTTP URL for the host
109 specified in the 'listen' parameter. This functionality is
110 crucial if you wish to use
111 Pazpar2 in conjunction with browser-based code (JS, Flash,
112 applets, etc.) which operates in a security sandbox. Such code
113 can only connect to the same server from which the enclosing
114 HTML page originated. Pazpar2s proxy functionality enables you
115 to host all of the main pages (plus images, CSS, etc) of your
116 application on a conventional webserver, while efficiently
117 processing webservice requests for metasearch status, results,
124 <term>relevance / sort / mergekey</term>
127 Specifies character set normalization for relevancy / sorting
128 and the mergekey - for the server. These definitions serves as
129 default for services that don't have these given. For the meaning
130 of these settings refer to the "relevance" element inside service.
136 <term>settings</term>
139 Specifies target settings for the server.. These settings serves
140 as default for all services which don't have these given.
141 The settings element requires one attribute 'src' which specifies
142 a settings file or a directory . If a directory is given all
143 files with suffix <filename>.xml</filename> is read from this
145 <xref linkend="target_settings"/> for more information.
154 This nested element controls the behavior of Pazpar2 with
155 respect to your data model. In Pazpar2, incoming records are
156 normalized, using XSLT, into an internal representation.
157 The 'service' section controls the further processing and
158 extraction of data from the internal representation, primarily
159 through the 'metadata' sub-element.
162 Pazpar2 version 1.2 and later allows multiple service elements.
163 Multiple services must be given a unique ID by specifying
164 attribute <literal>id</literal>.
165 A single service may be unnamed (service ID omitted). The
166 service ID is referred to in the
167 <link linkend="command-init"><literal>init</literal></link> webservice
168 command's <literal>service</literal> parameter.
171 <variablelist> <!-- Level 2 -->
172 <varlistentry><term>metadata</term>
175 One of these elements is required for every data element in
176 the internal representation of the record (see
177 <xref linkend="data_model"/>. It governs
178 subsequent processing as pertains to sorting, relevance
179 ranking, merging, and display of data elements. It supports
180 the following attributes:
183 <variablelist> <!-- level 3 -->
184 <varlistentry><term>name</term>
187 This is the name of the data element. It is matched
188 against the 'type' attribute of the
190 in the normalized record. A warning is produced if
191 metadata elements with an unknown name are
193 normalized record. This name is also used to
195 data elements in the records returned by the
196 webservice API, and to name sort lists and browse
202 <varlistentry><term>type</term>
205 The type of data element. This value governs any
206 normalization or special processing that might take
207 place on an element. Possible values are 'generic'
208 (basic string), 'year' (a range is computed if
209 multiple years are found in the record). Note: This
210 list is likely to increase in the future.
215 <varlistentry><term>brief</term>
218 If this is set to 'yes', then the data element is
219 includes in brief records in the webservice API. Note
220 that this only makes sense for metadata elements that
221 are merged (see below). The default value is 'no'.
226 <varlistentry><term>sortkey</term>
229 Specifies that this data element is to be used for
230 sorting. The possible values are 'numeric' (numeric
231 value), 'skiparticle' (string; skip common, leading
232 articles), and 'no' (no sorting). The default value is
238 <varlistentry><term>rank</term>
241 Specifies that this element is to be used to
243 records against the user's query (when ranking is
244 requested). The value is an integer, used as a
245 multiplier against the basic TF*IDF score. A value of
246 1 is the base, higher values give additional
248 elements of this type. The default is '0', which
249 excludes this element from the rank calculation.
254 <varlistentry><term>termlist</term>
257 Specifies that this element is to be used as a
258 termlist, or browse facet. Values are tabulated from
259 incoming records, and a highscore of values (with
260 their associated frequency) is made available to the
261 client through the webservice API.
263 are 'yes' and 'no' (default).
268 <varlistentry><term>merge</term>
271 This governs whether, and how elements are extracted
272 from individual records and merged into cluster
273 records. The possible values are: 'unique' (include
274 all unique elements), 'longest' (include only the
275 longest element (strlen), 'range' (calculate a range
276 of values across all matching records), 'all' (include
277 all elements), or 'no' (don't merge; this is the
283 <varlistentry><term>mergekey</term>
286 If set to '<literal>required</literal>', the value of this
287 metadata element is appended to the resulting mergekey if
288 the metadata is present in a record instance.
289 If the metadata element is not present, the a unique mergekey
290 will be generated instead.
293 If set to '<literal>optional</literal>', the value of this
294 metadata element is appended to the resulting mergekey if the
295 the metadata is present in a record instance. If the metadata
296 is not present, it will be empty.
299 If set to '<literal>no</literal>' or the mergekey attribute is
300 omitted, the metadata will not be used in the creation of a
306 <varlistentry><term>setting</term>
309 This attribute allows you to make use of static database
310 settings in the processing of records. Three possible values
311 are allowed. 'no' is the default and doesn't do anything.
312 'postproc' copies the value of a setting with the same name
313 into the output of the normalization stylesheet(s). 'parameter'
314 makes the value of a setting with the same name available
315 as a parameter to the normalization stylesheet, so you
316 can further process the value inside of the stylesheet, or use
317 the value to decide how to deal with other data values.
320 The purpose of using settings in this way can either be to
321 control the behavior of normalization stylesheet in a database-
322 dependent way, or to easily make database-dependent values
323 available to display-logic in your user interface, without having
324 to implement complicated interactions between the user interface
325 and your configuration system.
330 </variablelist> <!-- attributes to metadata -->
336 <term>relevance</term>
339 Specifies ICU tokenization and transformation rules
340 for tokens that are used in Pazpar2's relevance ranking.
341 The 'id' attribute is currently not used, and the 'locale'
342 attribute must be set to one of the locale strings
343 defined in ICU. The child elements listed below can be
344 in any order, except the 'index' element which logically
345 belongs to the end of the list. The stated tokenization,
346 transformation and charmapping instructions are performed
347 in order from top to bottom.
349 <variablelist> <!-- Level 2 -->
350 <varlistentry><term>casemap</term>
353 The attribute 'rule' defines the direction of the
354 per-character casemapping, allowed values are "l"
355 (lower), "u" (upper), "t" (title).
359 <varlistentry><term>transform</term>
362 Normalization and transformation of tokens follows
363 the rules defined in the 'rule' attribute. For
364 possible values we refer to the extensive ICU
365 documentation found at the
366 <ulink url="&url.icu.transform;">ICU
367 transformation</ulink> home page. Set filtering
368 principles are explained at the
369 <ulink url="&url.icu.unicode.set;">ICU set and
370 filtering</ulink> page.
374 <varlistentry><term>tokenize</term>
377 Tokenization is the only rule in the ICU chain
378 which splits one token into multiple tokens. The
379 'rule' attribute may have the following values:
380 "s" (sentence), "l" (line-break), "w" (word), and
381 "c" (character), the later probably not being
382 very useful in a pruning Pazpar2 installation.
388 From Pazpar2 version 1.1 the ICU wrapper from YAZ is used.
389 Refer to the <ulink url="&url.yaz.yaz-icu;">yaz-icu</ulink>
390 utility for more information.
399 Specifies ICU tokenization and transformation rules
400 for tokens that are used in Pazpar2's sorting. The contents
401 is similar to that of <literal>relevance</literal>.
407 <term>mergekey</term>
410 Specifies ICU tokenization and transformation rules
411 for tokens that are used in Pazpar2's mergekey. The contents
412 is similar to that of <literal>relevance</literal>.
418 <term>settings</term>
421 Specifies target settings for this service. Refer to
422 <xref linkend="target_settings"/>.
431 Specifies timeout parameters for this service.
432 The <literal>timeout</literal>
433 element supports the following attributes:
434 <literal>session</literal>, <literal>z3950_operation</literal>,
435 <literal>z3950_session</literal> which specifies
436 'session timeout', 'Z39.50 operation timeout',
437 'Z39.50 session timeout' respectively. The Z39.50 operation
438 timeout is the time Pazpar2 will wait for an active Z39.50/SRU
439 operation before it gives up (times out). The Z39.50 session
440 time out is the time Pazpar2 will keep the session alive for
441 an idle session (no operation).
444 The following is recommended but not required:
445 z3950_operation (30) < session (60) < z3950_session (180) .
446 The default values are given in parantheses.

496 <refsect1 id="config-include"><title>INCLUDE FACILITY</title>
498 The XML configuration may be partitioned into multiple files by using
499 the <literal>include</literal> element which takes a single attribute,
500 <literal>src</literal>. The of the <literal>src</literal> attribute is
501 regular Shell like glob-pattern. For example,
503 <include src="/etc/pazpar2/conf.d/*.xml"/>
507 The include facility requires Pazpar2 version 1.2.
511 <refsect1 id="target_settings"><title>TARGET SETTINGS</title>
513 Pazpar2 features a cunning scheme by which you can associate various
514 kinds of attributes, or settings with search targets. This can be done
515 through XML files which are read at startup; each file can associate
516 one or more settings with one or more targets. The file format is generic
517 in nature, designed to support a wide range of application requirements. The
518 settings can be purely technical things, like, how to perform a title
519 search against a given target, or it can associate arbitrary name=value
520 pairs with groups of targets -- for instance, if you would like to
521 place all commercial full-text bases in one group for selection
522 purposes, or you would like to control what targets are accessible
523 to users by default. Per-database settings values can even be used
524 to drive sorting, facet/termlist generation, or end-user interface display
529 During startup, Pazpar2 will recursively read a specified directory
530 (can be identified in the pazpar2.cfg file or on the command line), and
531 process any settings files found therein.
535 Clients of the Pazpar2 webservice interface can selectively override
536 settings for individual targets within the scope of one session. This
537 can be used in conjunction with an external authentication system to
538 determine which resources are to be accessible to which users. Pazpar2
539 itself has no notion of end-users, and so can be used in conjunction
540 with any type of authentication system. Similarly, the authentication
541 tokens submitted to access-controlled search targets can similarly be
542 overridden, to allow use of Pazpar2 in a consortial or multi-library
543 environment, where different end-users may need to be represented to
544 some search targets in different ways. This, again, can be managed
545 using an external database or other lookup mechanism. Setting overrides
546 can be performed either using the
547 <link linkend="command-init">init</link> or the
548 <link linkend="command-settings">settings</link> webservice
553 In fact, every setting that applies to a database (except pz:id, which
554 can only be used for filtering targets to use for a search) can be overridden
555 on a per-session basis. This allows the client to override specific CCL fields
556 for searching, etc., to meet the needs of a session or user.
560 Finally, as an extreme case of this, the webservice client can
561 introduce entirely new targets, on the fly, as part of the
562 <link linkend="command-init">init</link> or
563 <link linkend="command-settings">settings</link> command.
564 This is useful if you desire to manage information
565 about your search targets in a separate application such as a database.
566 You do not need any static settings file whatsoever to run Pazpar2 -- as
567 long as the webservice client is prepared to supply the necessary
568 information at the beginning of every session.
573 The following discussion of practical issues related to session and settings
574 management are cast in terms of a user interface based on Ajax/Javascript
575 technology. It would apply equally well to many other kinds of browser-based logic.
580 Typically, a Javascript client is not allowed to directly alter the parameters
581 of a session. There are two reasons for this. One has to do with access
582 to information; typically, information about a user will be stored in a
583 system on the server side, or it will be accessible in some way from the server.
584 However, since the Javascript client cannot be entirely trusted (some hostile
585 agent might in fact 'pretend' to be a regular ws client), it is more robust
586 to control session settings from scripting that you run as part of your
587 webserver. Typically, this can be handled during the session initialization,
592 Step 1: The Javascript client loads, and asks the webserver for a new Pazpar2
593 session ID. This can be done using a Javascript call, for instance. Note that
594 it is possible to submit Ajax HTTPXmlRequest calls either to Pazpar2 or to the
595 webserver that Pazpar2 is proxying for. See (XXX Insert link to Pazpar2 protocol).
599 Step 2: Code on the webserver authenticates the user, by database lookup,
600 LDAP access, NCIP, etc. Determines which resources the user has access to,
601 and any user-specific parameters that are to be applied during this session.
605 Step 3: The webserver initializes a new Pazpar2 settings, and sets user-specific
606 parameters as necessary, using the init webservice command. A new session ID is
611 Step 4: The webserver returns this session ID to the Javascript client, which then
612 uses the session ID to submit searches, show results, etc.
616 Step 5: When the Javascript client ceases to use the session, Pazpar2 destroys
617 any session-specific information.
620 <refsect2><title>SETTINGS FILE FORMAT</title>
622 Each file contains a root element named <settings>. It may
623 contain one or more <set> elements. The settings and set
624 elements may contain the following attributes. Attributes in the set node
625 overrides those in the setting root element. Each set node must
626 specify (directly, or inherited from the parent node) at least a
627 target, name, and value.
635 This specifies the search target to which this setting should be
636 applied. Targets are identified by their Z39.50 URL, generally
637 including the host, port, and database name, (e.g.
638 <literal>bagel.indexdata.com:210/marc</literal>).
639 Two wildcard forms are accepted:
640 * (asterisk) matches all known targets;
641 <literal>bagel.indexdata.com:210/*</literal> matches all
642 known databases on the given host.
645 A precedence system determines what happens if there are
646 overlapping values for the same setting name for the same
647 target. A setting for a specific target name overrides a
648 setting which specifies target using a wildcard. This makes it
649 easy to set defaults for all targets, and then override them
650 for specific targets or hosts. If there are
651 multiple overlapping settings with the same name and target
652 value, the 'precedence' attribute determines what happens.
660 The name of the setting. This can be anything you like.
661 However, Pazpar2 reserves a number of setting names for
662 specific purposes, all starting with 'pz:', and it is a good
663 idea to avoid that prefix if you make up your own setting
664 names. See below for a list of reserved variables.
672 The value of the setting. Generally, this can be anything you
673 want -- however, some of the reserved settings may expect
674 specific kinds of values.
679 <term>precedence</term>
682 This should be an integer. If not provided, the default value
683 is 0. If two (or more) settings have the same content for
684 target and name, the precedence value determines the outcome.
685 If both settings have the same precedence value, they are both
686 applied to the target(s). If one has a higher value, then the
687 value of that setting is applied, and the other one is ignored.
694 By setting defaults for target, name, or value in the root
695 settings node, you can use the settings files in many different
696 ways. For instance, you can use a single file to set defaults for
697 many different settings, like search fields, retrieval syntaxes,
698 etc. You can have one file per server, which groups settings for
699 that server or target. You could also have one file which associates
700 a number of targets with a given setting, for instance, to associate
701 many databases with a given category or class that makes sense
702 within your application.
706 The following examples illustrate uses of the settings system to
707 associate settings with targets to meet different requirements.
711 The example below associates a set of default values that can be
712 used across many targets. Note the wildcard for targets.
713 This associates the given settings with all targets for which no
714 other information is provided.
716 <settings target="*">
718 <!-- This file introduces default settings for pazpar2 -->
720 <!-- mapping for unqualified search -->
721 <set name="pz:cclmap:term" value="u=1016 t=l,r s=al"/>
723 <!-- field-specific mappings -->
724 <set name="pz:cclmap:ti" value="u=4 s=al"/>
725 <set name="pz:cclmap:su" value="u=21 s=al"/>
726 <set name="pz:cclmap:isbn" value="u=7"/>
727 <set name="pz:cclmap:issn" value="u=8"/>
728 <set name="pz:cclmap:date" value="u=30 r=r"/>
730 <!-- Retrieval settings -->

733 <set name="pz:elements" value="F"/>
735 <!-- Query encoding -->
736 <set name="pz:queryencoding" value="iso-8859-1"/>
738 <!-- Result normalization settings -->
740 <set name="pz:nativesyntax" value="iso2709"/>
741 <set name="pz:xslt" value="../etc/marc21.xsl"/>
749 The next example shows certain settings overridden for one target,
750 one which returns XML records containing DublinCore elements, and
751 which furthermore requires a username/password.
753 <settings target="funkytarget.com:210/db1">
754 <set name="pz:requestsyntax" value="xml"/>
755 <set name="pz:nativesyntax" value="xml"/>
756 <set name="pz:xslt" value="../etc/dublincore.xsl"/>
758 <set name="pz:authentication" value="myuser/password"/>
764 The following example associates a specific name/value combination
765 with a number of targets. The targets below are access-restricted,
766 and can only be used by users with special credentials.
768 <settings name="pz:allow" value="0">
769 <set target="funkytarget.com:210/*"/>
770 <set target="commercial.com:2100/expensiveDb"/>
777 <refsect2><title>RESERVED SETTING NAMES</title>
779 The following setting names are reserved by Pazpar2 to control the
780 behavior of the client function.
785 <term>pz:cclmap:xxx</term>
788 This establishes a CCL field definition or other setting, for
789 the purpose of mapping end-user queries. XXX is the field or
790 setting name, and the value of the setting provides parameters
791 (e.g. parameters to send to the server, etc.). Please consult
792 the YAZ manual for a full overview of the many capabilities of
793 the powerful and flexible CCL parser.
796 Note that it is easy to establish a set of default parameters,
797 and then override them individually for a given target.
801 <varlistentry id="requestsyntax">
802 <term>pz:requestsyntax</term>
805 This specifies the record syntax to use when requesting
806 records from a given server. The value can be a symbolic name like
807 marc21 or xml, or it can be a Z39.50-style dot-separated OID.
812 <term>pz:elements</term>
815 The element set name to be used when retrieving records from a
821 <term>pz:piggyback</term>
824 Piggybacking enables the server to retrieve records from the
825 server as part of the search response in Z39.50. Almost all
826 servers support this (or fail it gracefully), but a few
827 servers will produce undesirable results.
828 Set to '1' to enable piggybacking, '0' to disable it. Default
829 is 1 (piggybacking enabled).
834 <term>pz:nativesyntax</term>
837 Specifies how Pazpar2 shoule map retrieved records to XML. Currently
838 supported values are <literal>xml</literal>,
839 <literal>iso2709</literal> and <literal>txml</literal>.
842 The value <literal>iso2709</literal> makes Pazpar2 convert retrieved
843 MARC records to MARCXML. In order to convert to XML, the exact
844 chacater set of the MARC must be known (if not, the resulting
845 XML is probably not well-formed). The character set may be
847 <literal>;charset=</literal><replaceable>charset</replaceable> to
848 <literal>iso2709</literal>. If omitted, a charset of
849 MARC-8 is assumed. This is correct for most MARC21/USMARC records.
852 The value <literal>txml</literal> is like <literal>iso2709</literal>
853 except that records are converted to TurboMARC instead of MARCXML.
856 The value <literal>xml</literal> is used if Pazpar2 retrieves
857 records that are already XML (no conversion takes place).
863 <term>pz:queryencoding</term>
866 The encoding of the search terms that a target accepts. Most
867 targets do not honor UTF-8 in which case this needs to be specified.
868 Each term in a query will be converted if this setting is given.
874 <term>pz:negotiation_charset</term>
877 Sets character set for Z39.50 negotiation. Most targets do not support
878 this, and some will even close connection if set (crash on server
879 side or similar). If set, you probably want to set it to
880 <literal>UTF-8</literal>.
889 Is a comma separated list of of files that specifies
890 how to convert incoming records to the internal representation.
893 The suffix of each file specifies the kind of tranformation.
894 Suffix "<literal>.xsl</literal>" makes an XSL transform. Suffix
895 "<literal>.mmap</literal>" will use the MMAP transform (described below).
898 The special value "<literal>auto</literal>" will use a file
899 which is the <link linkend="requestsyntax">pz:requestsyntax's</link>
901 <literal>'.xsl'</literal>.
904 When mapping MARC records, XSLT can be bypassed for increased
905 performance with the alternate "MARC map" format. Provide the
906 path of a file with extension ".mmap" containing on each line:
908 <field> <subfield> <metadata element></programlisting>
913 773 * citation</programlisting>
914 To map the field value specify a subfield of '$'. To store a
915 concatenation of all subfields, specify a subfield of '*'.
920 <term>pz:authentication</term>
923 Sets an authentication string for a given server. See the section on
924 authorization and authentication for discussion.
929 <term>pz:allow</term>
932 Allows or denies access to the resources it is applied to. Possible
933 values are '0' and '1'. The default is '1' (allow access to this resource).
934 See the manual section on authorization and authentication for discussion
935 about how to use this setting.
940 <term>pz:maxrecs</term>
943 Controls the maximum number of records to be retrieved from a
944 server. The default is 100.
952 This setting can't be 'set' -- it contains the ID (normally
953 ZURL) for a given target, and is useful for filtering --
954 specifically when you want to select one or more specific
955 targets in the search command.
960 <term>pz:zproxy</term>
963 The 'pz:zproxy' setting has the value syntax
964 'host.internet.adress:port', it is used to tunnel Z39.50
965 requests through the named Z39.50 proxy.
971 <term>pz:apdulog</term>
974 If the 'pz:apdulog' setting is defined and has other value than 0,
975 then Z39.50 APDUs are written to the log.
985 <ulink url="&url.sru;">SRU</ulink>/<ulink url="&url.solr;">SOLR</ulink>
987 It has four possible settings.
988 'get', enables SRU access through GET requests. 'post' enables SRU/POST
989 support, less commonly supported, but useful if very large requests are
990 to be submitted. 'srw' enables the SRW (SRU over SOAP) variation of
994 A value of 'solr' anables SOLR client support. This is supported
995 for Pazpar version 1.5.0 and later.
1001 <term>pz:sru_version</term>
1004 This allows SRU version to be specified. If unset Pazpar2
1005 will the default of YAZ (currently 1.2). Should be set
1012 <term>pz:pqf_prefix</term>
1015 Allows you to specify an arbitrary PQF query language substring.
1016 The provided string is prefixed the user's query after it has been
1017 normalized to PQF internally in pazpar2.
1018 This allows you to attach complex 'filters' to queries for a given
1019 target, sometimes necessary to select sub-catalogs
1020 in union catalog systems, etc.
1026 <term>pz:pqf_strftime</term>
1029 Allows you to extend a query with dates and operators.
1030 The provided string allows certain substitutions and serves as a
1032 The special two character sequence '%%' gets converted to the
1033 original query. Other characters leading with the percent sign are
1034 conversions supported by strftime.
1035 All other characters are copied verbatim. For example, the string
1036 <literal>@and @attr 1=30 @attr 2=3 %Y %%</literal>
1037 would search for current year combined with the original PQF (%%).
1043 <term>pz:sort</term>
1046 Specifies sort criteria to be applied to the result set.
1047 Only works for targets which support the sort service.
1053 <term>pz:recordfilter</term>
1056 Specifies a filter which allows Pazpar2 to only include
1057 records that meet a certain criteria in a result. Unmatched records
1058 will be ignored. The filter takes the form name[~value] , which
1059 will include only records with metadata element (name) that has the
1060 substring (value) given. If value is omitted all records with the
1061 metadata present will be included.
1067 <term>pz:termlist_term_count</term>
1070 Specifies that the target should return up to n terms for each facets (where termlist="yes"). This implies
1071 that the target can return facets on the search command. Requesting facets on targets that doesn't,
1072 will return unpredictable or error result.
1078 <term>pz:termlist_term_sort</term>
1081 Specifies how the terms should be sorted. (Not yet implemented)
1087 <term>pz:preferred</term>
1090 Specifies that a target is preferred, e.g. possible local, faster target. Using block=pref on show command
1091 will wait for all these targets to return records before releasing the block. If no target is preferred,
1092 the block=pref will identical to block=1, which release when one target has returned records.
1098 <term>pz:block_timeout</term>
1101 (Not yet implemented). Specifies the time for which a block should be released anyway.
