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
183
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.
