Archival descriptions
Use the search box to find archival descriptions that contain matching text. The search box is available on every page to every user.
- Enter a query in the search box
- Click "Search"
- ICA-AtoM searches all fields of all archival descriptions and displays results on the search results page
- The search results page displays the search query and the total number of results. By default, ICA-AtoM displays results ten at a time, providing pagination at the bottom of the page to allow users to navigate through long lists of results. Administrators can increase or decrease this default number (See items per page).
- For each match, the search results page shows:
- The description title
- The first three lines of the scope and content field (if not empty)
- A link to the highest level of description to which the result belongs
- Click a title to view the full description (this navigates to the description's view page)
As of the current ICA-AtoM version (1.0-beta):
- Search is not case sensitive
- You cannot save the search results
- There is currently no advanced search page, but see advanced search for advanced search techniques that can be used in the basic search box
- Search runs on the language specified by the language view. It will not display results for descriptions that are not translated into the current language
Future releases will address current limitations.
Authority records or archival institutions
- In the search box at the bottom of the authority records list page or the archival institution list page, enter a search query
- The search is not case sensitive
- If desired, use boolean operators (AND, OR, AND NOT) and/or quotations or asterisks to narrow the search query
- The Search results page will display the results
- To view an authority record or archival institution, click on one of the blue links in the search results page
