Search help

Limiting your search

The dropdown menus beside the Search button will limit your search to a single database or single entity (masters, vessels...) You can use either dropdown separately or both together.

Multiple words

The search engine treats multiple words as if they were combined with AND. For example, if you enter

Morgan Charles

you will find any records that contain both

Morgan

AND

Charles

, in any order.

Stemming

Words you enter are automatically treated as 'stems', that is, as if there were a wildcard at the end. So, if you enter

whal

you will find records containing

whale

whaleboat

whalers

, or

whaling

. This also works with dates. Entering

will match all years in the 1830s.

Exact match

To match an exact phrase, enclose in quotation marks, for instance,

"Charles W. Morgan"

Case-insensitive

Searches are not case-sensitive.

Punctuation

Punctuation marks are anathema. If you want to search for something that includes punctuation, enclose your search in quotation marks.

Advanced search: Data Viewers
