Clients of the Pazpar2 webservice interface can selectively override
settings for individual targets within the scope of one session. This

can only be used for filtering targets to use for a search) can be overridden

<listitem>
<para>
- The representation (syntax) of the retrieval records. Currently
- recognized values are iso2709 and xml.
+ Allows you to specify an arbitrary PQF query language substring.
+ The provided string is prefixed to the user's query after it has been
+ normalized to PQF internally in pazpar2.
+ This allows you to attach complex 'filters' to queries for a given
+ target, sometimes necessary to select sub-catalogs
+ in union catalog systems, etc.

+ <term>pz:pqf_strftime</term>
+ <listitem>
<para>
- For iso2709, can also specify a native character set, e.g. "iso2709;latin-1".
- If no character set is provided, MARC-8 is assumed.
+ Allows you to extend a query with dates and operators.
+ The provided string allows certain substitutions and serves as a
+ format string.
+ The special two character sequence '%%' gets converted to the
+ original query. Other characters leading with the percent sign are
+ conversions supported by strftime.
+ All other characters are copied verbatim. For example, the string
+ <literal>@and @attr 1=30 @attr 2=3 %Y %%</literal>
+ would search for current year combined with the original PQF (%%).
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ This setting can also be used as more general alternative to
+ pz:pqf_prefix -- a way of embedding the submitted query
+ anywhere in the string rather than appending it to prefix. For
+ example, if it is desired to omit all records satisfying the
+ query <literal>@attr 1=pica.bib 0007</literal> then this
+ subquery can be combined with the submitted query as the second
+ argument of <literal>@andnot</literal> by using the
+ pz:pqf_strftime value <literal>@not %% @attr 1=pica.bib
+ 0007</literal>.
