Clicking once on the archive acronym adds the archive to the query. This way more than one archive might be looked through. (If the user selects RBB and than TOM and hits the return button – or starts the search again – then only the joint 33 items of these archives are displayed in the result list.

Clicking once again on the same archive acronym leads the user immediately to the found items of this archive.
