Search Hints and Tips

Tip: apple OR orange returns all images matching either the apple or orange keywords

When you do a search only items with the full search time in the description or metadata will normally be displayed. Once you enter your search terms you can group the images by gallery by clicking on the "Group by Gallery" link which comes up in red under the search box. This will remove the images that are irrelevant to your search. To only view the images in a particular gallery click on the image and then the items in that gallery only will appear.

Multi-word searches

Boolean operators help you refine your search. For instance:

Apple Orange or Apple AND Orange will return all images that have both words in their metadata ;

Apple OR Orange will return images that have either the “Apple” word or the “Orange” word in their metadata. Note that the OR operator must be in capital letters ;

“black cat” will return images that match the exact phrase “black cat” ;

Kid OR Child AND Male will return images of boys (the “AND” is optional) ;

A AND B OR C AND D AND E OR F means “A AND D AND (B OR C OR E OR F)”.

Bus Registrations

Most bus registrations can be searched by either the full registration or by using the plate area
