| Each
"Album" Web page that is displayed on this site
contains the following informational attributes that may
be searched through depending on the search option used:
names (mostly people, but some places), donor name,
date, and area of interest. Each page may or may not
have information for each attribute.
Depending
on the specific information being searched for, a user is
advised to do a variety of searches if the expected
results are not found.
Following
is a description of each search option:
-
Search
for a Specific Name: This option uses the name entered and searches for matches in the 'names'
attribute of each page. A 'name' must be only
one word that is at
least 3 characters long and does not consist of any of
the following: ? * # % _ [ . Those pages
that satisfy the search criteria will be displayed to the
user.
-
Search
by Area of Interest: This option allows the user
to select from one of the predefined Areas of
Interest, displaying the pages available for that
selection. This option returns the same results
as if the Area of Interest were selected from the
Album Contents page.
-
Search
by Donor: This options allows the user to select
from one of the donors listed, displaying the pages
that contain information and/or photos provided by the
donor.
-
Search
by Dates: This option allows the user to enter
'from' and 'through' years, returning those pages that
have information in the date attribute which satisfies
the search dates. Date information is available
for a page only if it is historically relevant to the
page's information. If a user
wishes to search for a single year only, enter the
same year value for both the 'from' year and the
'though' year.
