-The optional <MetadataFormat> element can be used to restrict the search to records in the discovery index whose original (harvested) representation was in the format specified. The format must be one of the values listed in the [#metadataFormatList metadataFormatList] available from the getList operation. Default behaviour if this element is omitted is not to restrict the search in this way (and return results irrepsective of their harvested format).

The default behavior is to return MEDIN_2.3 format metadata if MetadataFormat is not used (but RecordDetail is set to DocumentFull).  Acceptable values for MetadataFormat can be found in the [#MetadataFormatList MetadataFormatList]
