Searching for entries

Quick search

The search bar in the navigation menu at the top is to quick search for entries. Search by title: and/or location (city: and country:). The query will also display and search the hosts: of an entry if any. The search will try to autocomplete the query as five suggestions are listed below the search bar.

Advanced search (browse)

Select the BROWSE dropdown in the top navigation menu. Select either to view all entries (everything), or narrow by collection.

Once in the browse page, there are three main sections: the query statistics the browse menu and the displayed results.

Query statistics

The number of entries found is displayed, as well as any additional text search or filter results view settings. The filters can be removed by selecting each, or select the Erase all to remove all filters.

Browse menu

A dropdown grey menu unfolds to display the various configuration options to browse entries.

• Text search unfolds automatically. The query will search for text inside the entries, as well as data such as title:, city:, state:, etc.

• Filter results by status:, collection:, type:, country:, and tags:. Each filter selection works with an OR selection.
