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 bothMorgan
ANDCharles
, 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 containingwhale
,whaleboat
,whalers
, orwhaling
. This also works with dates. Entering183
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.
