Prototype Quick Geograph Forum Search

Start typing, then pause to display possible matches, keep adding keywords to refine the search. Click a image then Go to view the image at Geograph

Cheatsheet:

· find locations in that gridsquare, hectad or myriad! stone wall sh65 or stone wall tq

· prefix a keyword with - to exclude that word from the match; example : stone wall -sh

· can use OR to match either/or keywords; example: bridge river OR canal

· start with ~ so that any word is matched; example: ~train railway track
· Only letters and numbers are understood, other charactors are ignored (except as noted below!).

· If you pause and get --not found--, you still might get results by fully specifing the words, as does not totally match part words.

· If you get too many results keep adding keywords to refine the results.

· This is a standard keyword search like most search engines, not the phrase based searching you might be used to on Geograph currently.

· Lastly; play around and see how it works out.
