Search in Plot-It

Users can search to narrow down or find a specific data point. The search function is accessed on the left side of Plot-It.

1. Enter the search term in the search box on the left side of Plot-It. You can search by typing dates, locations, or keyword into the search field.
   As you type in the search box the results will narrow down automatically. Currently, this search feature does not support Boolean searching.
   

   

   
   
2. View the Search results in either the timeline or in the map area. If you prefer not to view the map you can change the view to list or grid views. (For more information see the linked “Change View” page below).

   To view more information about the events the user has searched for, select the icon or the event title to bring up the metadata associated with it. When the user clicks on the event in the timeline or map, the information will appear in the text box between the timeline and the map.

The user searches for the keyword "Turing."

This narrows down the information to one entry. For more information about that event, the user can click on the event in either the timeline or the map.
