> Best Practice

We have found the easiest way to search is to use the quick search box, this will find ALL the words you type in.

Tip: Dont use words such as "in" "the" "and"

Example: to find a car driving in the snow simply type "car snow" (without quotes), the search is not case sensitive.

If you wanted to exclude 4X4 cars from your search you could use the minus (-) sign.

Example: To find cars driving in the snow which are not 4x4's type "car snow -4X4 " (without quotes),

Note: There must not be any spaces between the second keyword and symbol (+), (-).

> Standard Search (Quick Search)

By default the system uses “Match all the keywords” for the quick search function. If you input “speeding car ” (without the quotes) into the standard search field, then the search function would return results for any media that contains both “speeding” AND “car” in its properties.

> Advanced Search

There are two options available.

Match at least one keyword.

This will search the images for any of your keywords and return all it finds.

Match all your keywords.

This will find ONLY images which contain all the keywords you enter.

Finally you can choose a specific section of the library to search by using the categories selector.

You may for example want to search for Italy in the railway section to find Italian railways.
