Searching within art case - 4/29/2009 11:21:49 PM

Hi,

I can't seem to search for paintings within my art case - when I type in something I know I have as a keyword, nothing comes up (although they do pick up in the search of all ebsq art), so I'm forced to go through page after page of paintings (which seem to be in no particular order) to find the one I'm looking for.

Am I doing something wrong or is there a problem with the search?

Thanks!

Can you give me an example of what you're searching for and what keywords you're using when looking?

I did some researching and here's what I found out. The search tool for your art case doesn't search for keywords. It only searches the title of the piece. However, the search tool for the EBSQ galleries, for example, searches for words in your title, the body of your artist statement, and your keywords for any given piece. I'm not sure why the search parameters are different for those two tools, but that's the way things currently are.

Thanks Amie, that's what I wanted to know, I didn't know if it was that way for everyone or just me. I'm glad I can search for title at least, it helps a lot.
