Help - Advanced Search

The advanced search allows you to specify exactly what you are looking for. It is very simple to use yet extremely powerful. An example search is located at the bottom of this page.

There are two advanced searches available:

Advanced Search for Art
in the Art section
Advanced Search for Artists
in the Artists section

The advanced searches can be accessed in the Options area in the two sections above.

Both advanced searches work the same way. You must select one or more Items (such as city, colour, name, media...) and supply their Details.

The first step is to select which items you are looking for. The items are located on the left of the advanced search form. Simply tick on the items you are looking for. Tick it again to switch the search for the item off.

The second step is to supply the details for the items you have selected. The details are located to the right of the items. For example, if you have ticked the "City" item, then supply the city you are interested in.

Once the items and details are set, click on the Search button at the end of the form. You can specify as many or as little items as you wish. We recommend one to three items.

If you do not select any items and click on the Search button, then all records will be displayed.

To erase the current contents of the search form, click on the Clear Form button.
