Entering a Keyword Search

Keyword Search for a Single Topic

Enter a word or phrase describing the topic you want to search for in the Search box.

Omit the beginning articles "the," "a," or "an." For example, enter "Salt Lake Tribune" instead of "the Salt Lake Tribune."

Selecting fewer contributors and media types, as well as entering more specific keywords, will usually result in a more rapid and useful search.

Punctuation marks and other non-alphanumeric figures

Do not use periods, question marks, exclamation points or commas at the end of a keyword or phrase.

Do not use quotation marks.

Do not use figures such as | = ' ` + - _ ~ < > { } \ / [ ] @ # $ ^ * % in your keyword search. If you do, no matches will be found.

NOTE: An exception to this rule occurs when you enter the media item file name as a keyword, e.g., v_000453.log.

Keyword Search Using Filename

If you know the filename of a specific item, you can enter it in the first Search box. You can find the item's filename in the the Full Description column under the label "FILENAME AS KEYWORD."

If you know the CD-ROM filename of a media item, you can enter it in the first Search box. You will find the item's CD-ROM filename in the Full Description column under the label "CD-ROM FILENAME."

Keyword Search Using OR to Broaden Your Search

You can use the OR button to broaden your search from a single topic to either of two topics.

Example:

To find items about "lakes" or "Weber County":
Enter the first topic lakes in the first box.
Click OR (if it is not already selected).
Then enter the next topic Weber County in the second box.
Any items about lakes in any county plus any items about Weber County will be retrieved.

NOTE: OR is automatically selected for you.

Keyword Search Using AND to Narrow Your Search

Use the AND button to find items about a combination of two topics.

Example:

To find items about both "lakes" and "Weber County":
Enter the first topic lakes in the first box.
Click AND.
Then enter the next topic Weber County in the second box.
Only items about lakes within Weber County will be retrieved.

Advanced Keyword Search

An advanced search gives you the ability to include more than two search topics.

The OR/AND buttons and the second Search box will not be used in an advanced search. Instead, the complete search formula will be entered into the first box, with as many combinations of OR/AND as needed.

Using More Than One AND or OR

Example:

To find items about "mountains in national parks located in San Juan County":
Enter the search terms mountains and national parks and San Juan County in the first box.

Using Parentheses

Parentheses ( ) are used to group portions of search topics together by Boolean logic.

Example 1:

To find items about the national parks that contain mountains or lakes or rivers:
Enter the search terms national parks and (mountains or lakes or rivers) in the first box.

Example 2:

To find items about either a combination of lakes and rivers or creeks, or a combination of mountains and canyons:
Enter the search terms (lakes and(rivers or creeks)) or (mountains and canyons) in the first box.

NOTE: Multiple parentheses are needed in the example above to indicate subgroups within a group.

Frequently Asked Questions -- Keyword Search

Will using singular or plural forms of words affect my search?

No. River or rivers will retrieve the same items.
Canary or canaries will retrieve the same items.
Woman or women will retrieve the same items.

Will using capital or lower case letters affect my search?

No. Great Salt Lake or great salt lake will retrieve the same items.
MOUNTAIN or mountains will retrieve the same items.

Do I need to include the initial articles "a," "an," or "the"?

You should omit the intital articles "the," "a," and "an." For example, enter "Salt Lake Tribune" instead of "the Salt Lake Tribune."

Will spelling a word incorrectly affect my search?

Yes. Spelling counts!

Can I enter numbers?

Yes. For example, you can search for items related to a particular date such as 1868 or March 10, 1952.

How do I search for items about or by a person?

When searching for items about or by a person, use either of these two methods:
Enter the person's last name or first name. Choose the part of the name that is least common. E.g., if the name is Jane Winterseed, enter the last name. If the name is Elijah Smith, enter the first name. Enter the first and last name. Include the middle initial or middle name if you know it.

NOTE: The first method is the safer, even though you may get more results than you need. Use the second method with caution. Method two requires entering the full middle name if the person has one.

What if I don't enter anything in the keyword search box?

If you don't enter any keyword search topics and then choose to include all media types, you will get a list of every item in all the Collections you selected. This could result in too many retrievals which can cause a serious time delay. To avoid this situation, the database has been designed to limit matches to 500 items or less. If the result is more than 500 items, you'll see this message:
"Over 500 matches found. Please revise your search."

How do I revise a search?

To avoid too many retrievals, it is important to make your search topic as specific as possible. Here are some tips for revising your search: Reenter your search topic. (Click in the keyword box and delete your previous topic first.) Be specific. Use the AND feature to narrow down your search to a combination of two topics. (See examples above.) Try the advanced search methods for more than two topics. (See examples above.) Select specific Collections instead of ALL the Collections. To remove a previously selected Contributor name or a Collection title, hold down Ctrl key (Windows users) or the Command key (Mac users) while clicking the name or title again. If you have to make changes in several places or find deselecting Contributor and Collection titles inconvenient, use the CLEAR button on the side bar menu and start over. CLEAR will refresh the screen by erasing all search selections and search results. Select specific media types instead of all media types (videos, pictures, audio, maps, text, and charts.

NOTE: Don't forget to click the FIND button again when you finish revising your search.

How can I access all the articles in the Utah History Encyclopedia collection?

Since the search limit is 500 matches, you would not be able to browse through a menu of all the articles (575) in the Utah History Encyclopedia without entering keywords. For your convenience, we simultaneously maintain a web site for that collection only. At the site, you have access to an alphabetical listing of all the articles from which you can access each article and associated pictures. The address for the website is eddy.media.utah.edu/ucme.

SOFTWARE QUESTIONS

What Browsers Should I Use for This Site?

Netscape Navigator 3.0+ and Internet Explorer 3.0+ are the recommended browsers for viewing media items in the Utah Collections Multimedia Encyclopedia. Utah Collections utilizes HTML 3.2 features and displays images in JPEG and GIF; video in the QuickTime format; and audio in the WAV format.

What Plug-ins Do I Need for This Site?

Apple Computer's QuickTime Plug-in is required to view video from Utah Collections. We recommend that you download the latest version of Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer that comes with the necessary plug-ins to view Utah Collections media items.

Downloading and Decompressing Media Items

Utah Collections Multimedia Encyclopedia offers several formats for you to download a media item, expand it, and store it on your hard drive for use in your own multimedia or presentation software. Some file formats are suited to a particular computer and operating system; for example, you would use PICT for Macintosh image files and BMP for Windows image files. Video files for the Windows platform are usually in an AVI file format. QuickTime is a digital video file form that works on both the Macintosh and Windows platforms. For audio files, AIF is typically used for the Macintosh. A WAV format is used on Windows and Macintosh computers.

Media Type	Formats
MEDIA FORMATS A variety of formats are provided for downloading Utah Collections media items. NOTE: "Images" include pictures, maps, and charts.
	Web Browser Display	Download Options
Images	JPEG	PICT (Macintosh)	BMP (Windows)
Video	MOV (Quicktime)	MOV (Macintosh and Windows)	AVI (Windows)
Audio	WAV	AIF (Macintosh)	WAV (Windows)

The media files available for download (as opposed to the on-screen viewing within your web browser) are compressed and encoded in order to speed up the transfer of data over the Internet and to make sure you receive these files in tact. Downloadable files, useful for the Macintosh are "stuffed" and "encoded" using Aladdin Systems' StuffIt Software. You can recognize these files because their file names end with ".hqx." Files useful for the Windows environment are "zipped" using ZipIt Software you can recognize these files because their file names end with ".zip."

Save Video As:

AVI (vm001044.zip 14431 Kb) Windows

MOV (vm001044.mov.hqx 16697 Kb) Macintosh and Windows

When you click on a downloadable file's hyperlink (for example, an underscored AVI or a PICT), the file will be transferred from the Utah Collections web site, moved across the Internet, and saved on your local hard drive (or wherever you specify). The file will be in its "stuffed" or "zipped" form, however. An "unstuffer" or "unzipper" utility is required in order to expand the downloaded file back to its original file format. There are several utilities available, and many work seamlessly within your web browser to automatically expand a downloaded file. We suggest you obtain Stuff It Expander, a utility, from Aladdin Systems. It is free and is available for both Macintosh and Windows platforms for unstuffing and unzipping files.

To download the utility, click the "Get StuffIt Expander Now" button located below your download file options for each media item you are displaying on our web site.

Decompressing on Macintosh and Windows

You will be connected with the Aladdin Systems web site page that gives you the choice of downloading either the Macintosh or Windows version of the Expander installer. Follow their on screen instructions for obtaining Expander. When you click to download the Expander installer, your computer will probably ask you where you want to save it (some computers may be set to a default that saves downloadable files directly to your desktop).

Once the Expander installer has been saved to your hard drive, you will need to install the utility. Simply double-click on the installer and follow the onscreen instructions and dialogue boxes (you will be asked into which folder on your hard drive you wish to keep your StuffIt Expander utility).

If you want your web browser to automatically unstuff or unzip downloadable files, then you must configure your web browser, essentially giving it instructions on what to do when it encounters a stuffed or zipped file. Our best advice at this point is to use the on-screen HELP for your browser in order to get configuration instructions. Basically, you need to set up what is called your HELPER APPLICATIONS for your browser. For Windows computers, you will instruct your browser to use the Expander utility when it encounters a ".zip" file. For Macintosh computers, you will instruct your browser to use the Expander utility when it encounters an ".hqx" file.

Once StuffIt Expander is part of your browser, downloaded files will automatically be restored to their original, expanded format for use in other software programs. Note: the ".hqx" files will unstuff and place an additional file on your hard drive that has a name ending with ".sit" (this stands for StuffIt). If the file has been automatically expanded to its original form already, the ".sit" version can be deleted immediately.

NOTE FOR WINDOWS USERS OF STUFFIT EXPANDER

There is a setting you must adjust in the STUFFIT EXPANDER application which you downloaded from Aladdin's web site. Find the EXPANDER.EXE program on your hard drive, wherever it is stored. Open it. Under the OPTIONS menu, select CROSS PLATFORM. Two options are offered. For the section labeled SAVE MACINTOSH FILES IN MACBINARY FORMAT, select the radio button labeled "never." Accept the change and close the application. Once this option is set, you should not have to revisit this setting. If you do NOT change the setting and you download an ".hqx" file (such as a QuickTime movie), the file will not open or be usable on your Windows computer platform.
