11. Searching data

The typical data search features can be seen at these links - subjects, indexes and advanced.

There are also Show All and Quick search facilities. Boolean and Fuzzy operators can be used for Quick Search, as described in the search help page of the demonstration picture library.

A refine search feature enables 'search within a search' - that is - searching only within those records returned by the previous search.

Single click searching is available on a collection or group of images. These collections, which might be called exhibitions, highlights, best sellers etc... can be grouped together, and if required some can be displayed on the home page like this, clicking one of the thumbs will return all of the images in the collection.

All searches are stored in a history for the duration of the user's session, and can be retrieved with a single click.
