# Catalogue The Catalogue tool provides an interface for exploring the contents of a larger, multi-document corpus, as well as for creating a subset (or workset) based on the search criteria. It functions somewhat like a library database or an online store, allowing you to filter documents. ## Overview By default the following facets are shown: - *Title*: the document's title (or its filename if no better title was found) - *Author*: the document's author, if specified - *Language*: the document's automatically detected language - *Terms*: all of the terms in the document

Catalogue with the Works of Jane Austen. You can also use Catalogue with your own corpus.

## Options You can filter documents by typing a query into the search box and hitting enter (see [Term Searches](#!/guide/search) for more advanced searching capabilities). Note that by default the query includes the full-text, the title and the author. You can use the author or title prefix to *only* look at one of those metadata fields (e.g. _title:love_). ## Additional Information We hope to soon offer a better interface for users to select other facets. The current interface may not work properly with corpora containing more than 1,000 documents. Please contact us if you're interested in creating a custom Catalogue interface for your text collection, like this:
