Searching by Catalog

Concept

Selecting one of the catalog buttons on your PastPerfect Online site will display random items in the chosen catalog. Visitors can browse through these items or do a Keyword Search to narrow the list of results. Phrase searching, wildcards (*), using AND / OR statements, and limiting the search results to items with images only are available when searching by catalog as they were explained in the Keyword Search topic.   

This section will discuss the Objects search area of your PastPerfect Online site; the other catalog areas, Archives, Photos, and Libraries, function the same way.

Task

1. Click on the Objects button. A list of object records will be displayed. The link for each item is comprised of the first two fields you have selected for that record type in the Web Publishing Wizard.
   
   
   
   
2. Use the Search field at the top of the screen to search these records as you would from the Keyword Search area of the site.
3. Scroll through the records using the Next button at the bottom of the page.
   
   
   
   
4. Click on the item's image or hyperlink to view the full record.
