NEWMAN PORTAL INTRODUCES ADVANCED SEARCH

The latest addition to the Newman Numismatic Portal is not content, but a great new software feature. Project Coordinator Len Augsburger provided the following report. -Editor

Left: Search Terms; Right: Sample Search Results

A new, advanced search function on the Newman Portal now allows users to more closely tune their search results. The search fields are self-explanatory but a couple examples are instructive. Suppose one wants to search for auction appearances of Vermont cents in auction catalogs between 1850 and 1860 – in this case select “Auction Catalogs” in the Content Type field, set the Publication Year from 1850 to 1860, and enter the text “Vermont Cent” (or “Vermont”) in the Search field. “Vermont Cent” yields 16 matches, primarily from Bangs and Cogan sales.

As another example, contributing organizations can now specifically search within their own content. Setting Title to “Penny-Wise” and the text to “S-15”, for example, yields over a hundred mentions in Early American Coppers’ Penny-Wise of this well-known 1793 large cent variety.
