Potlatch Historical Society Collection

These advanced options can be added to your query in the search box to refine your results:

• Search a specific field: use the field name, colon, then your query, e.g. title:foo, date:1911, subject:tree. In this collection you can use title, date, creator, description, subject, family_names, location.
• Wildcards: add * to match any character(s), e.g. foo*, *oo. This is helpful for using a root to find words with all related endings.
• Fuzzy match: add ~ plus a number at the end of your query to specify a higher level of fuzziness in search, e.g. foo~1. This can help with misspellings.
• Boost term: add ^ plus a number to boost the relevance of a term in your query, e.g. foo^10. This can help reduce clutter of unrelated results if one of your terms is most important.
