Search Box
In the search box, one can search all (textual) properties of the site
objects, plus the site ID-numbers.
There are several possibilities for searching.
You can search for words or phrases, or use "tags" to search in specific
fields.
The supported tags are "site:", "condition:", "material:" and "time:".
Below we list some example searches.
Note that all searches are case-insensitive.
- pyramid
- Searches all textual fields of the site objects for the word "pyramid".
- pyramidal monument
- Searches all textual fields of the site objects for the exact phrase
"pyramidal monument". Only objects containing this exact phrase will be
found! For instance, if the description contains "pyramidal funerary
monument", it will not be found by searching for "pyramidal monument".
- site:21
- Matched the site_id field of the site objects to the given number (21 in
this case).
- condition:complete
- Searches the condition field of the site objects for the word "complete"
(or "damaged").
- material:tufo
- Searches the material fields (material_type, material_subtype and
material_technique) of the site objects for the word "tufo" or "peperino".
- time:A.D
- Searches the time fields (date_specific and period) of the site objects
for the "A.D".
- time:2nd time:century
- When looking for multiple words using tags, one needs to add the tag to
all words!
