Highlights in cyan indicate the search terms found in the visible text;
Highlights in light green indicate links to files whose filenames contain the search terms. (This allows you to search for a filename hidden in a link.)
- SINGLE TERM -
Looks for pages where the given string is found. The search is successful even if a match is found within a greater string in the Archives. For example, if you
search for bald, the pages containing "bald" as well as "Archibald" will be returned.
This engine is particularly useful if you know the title of a piece but forgot who composed it.
For example if you don't remember who wrote "The Trout Quintet" (Schubert), simply enter trout
in the text to search for, and it will point you to Schubert's page and highlight the search term in place.
- MULTIPLE TERMS -
You can enter several terms at once, separated by a space. For example to search for "Marche Funebre"), enter marche funebre.
Do not enter "AND" (or anything else) between the terms. (The AND/OR is inserted by the engine as you direct.)
The search is done for lines or paragraphs that contain all the search terms at once.
This means that if you do a search for, say,
night (AND) bald (AND) mountain, a page containing
"Night on Bald Mountain" will be returned.
Any other lines in that page containing any one or two of the three terms
(but not the three terms) will not be highlighted.
And any page containing the three terms
but not together in one line or paragraph will NOT be returned at all.
Note that multiple term AND searches do not look in the links or for filenames.
If you search for a particular piece by catalog number, (except for BWV numbers - which have no period) make sure to place a period
between the catalog abbreviation (D, K, Op, No, Woo, HWV, RV, etc.) and the number:
Use "BWV1007" and "Op.11 No.3" and not "BWV.1007" or "Op11 No3"
- FILENAME -
You can search for a particular music filename. Although the
media filenames are not shown on the pages, the link which points to the file will be highlighted (in light green instead of cyan).
