You can search for images in the Image Library two different ways. You can
enter text into the search field and perform a text search or you
can select a specific location in the location list and search for
images that match the specific location you selected.
Text Search
You can enter text in to the search field and perform a keyword search, a title search, or a location search.
1. Keyword Search
You can search for images in the Image Library by entering one
or more words that describe the images you want to find.
For example, enter "ice" in the search field and select
the "Keywords" option and press enter. This query will
search the image database for all images that have the word "ice"
as the keyword.
You can also enter several keywords to narrow your search results.
For example, enter "ice" and "stream" into the
search field and selecting the "Keywords" option will
result in finding images that have both "ice" AND "stream"
in their keyword description field.
2. Title Search
You can search for images in the Image Library by entering one
or more words that are contained in the title of the images you
want to find.
For example, enter "fog" in the search field and select
the "Title" option and press enter. This query will search
the image database for all images that have the word "fog"
in the image title.
You can also enter several keywords to narrow your search results.
For example, enter "fog" and "Boulder" into
the search field and selecting the "Title" option will
result in finding images that have both "fog" AND "Boulder"
in their title.
3. Location Search
You can search for images in the Image Library by entering into
the search field the geographical location where the photo was taken
and then choosing the location option.
For example, enter "Utah" in the search field and select
the "Location" option and press enter. This query will
search the image database for all images that were taken anywhere
in the state of Utah.
You can also enter several keywords to narrow your search results.
For example, enter "Moab" and "Utah" into the
search field and selecting the "Location" option will
result in finding photos that were shot in Moab, Utah.
This is a more powerful search than the specific location search
(see below) since you can enter a location in your search request
that is more general than the locations listed in the specific location
list. For example, you can enter "Colorado" in the the search field
and select 'location'. This will result in finding all ofthe images
that where taken in Colorado. On the other hand, the specific location
search limits your search to the specific location, such as 'Boulder,
Colorado'.
Specific Location Search
The location list contains a list of all of the geographical locations where the images were taken. You can choose
a location in the list and perform a search that will find all images in the image library for that specific
location. The locations in this list are generated from the image library database, so you are sure to find images for
the items in this list.
Search Results
The search results contains the catalog id, title, description,
and location of the images that matched your search criteria.
If the catalog id is underlined (a link to an image), that image
is available online for you to view. Just click the catalog id and
your browser will take you to the image.
If the image catalog id is not underlined, then the images is not
available to view online. Please contact us if you would like to
see an image that is not online.
