Viewing Movies By Year

Let's suppose that you are only interested in seeing the newest movies. There is an easy way to tell the catalog that you only want to see items be a specific year. Follow the steps below.

1. First make sure that you've got the information filled in on the Power search page as it was shown in the first page of this guide.
2. Go down to the User defined limits section of the page. In the first drop down menu, choose Pubdate as the type of limit you would like.
   
3. Make sure that the second drop down menu is an equals sign.
   
4. In the input box, type in the current year to set the limit.
   
5. Since we're limiting our search to just one year, it really doesn't make much sense to be sorting by the publication date anymore. Let's change the type of sort to Title.
   
6. Click on the submit button.
