SEARCHING ON KOPENHAGEN.DK
kopenhagen.dk consists of more than 1.000 pages of
data representing a complete selection of articles, images, interviews,
press releases and more, and new material is continually being added.
The extended search facility, as described below, allows you to
conduct a more advanced and detailed search for specific material
within kopenhagen.dk's comprehensive database.
Search Guide
To search on kopenhagen.dk write what you are looking for in
the empty search panel.
To get more precise search results try the following:
Check your spelling
Be sure that your search word is spelt correctly
Use several words
Use more search words together.
Search results will be far more precise if you use more words than
one. An example: If you write very good art you will get more relevant
results than if you only search on the word art. (Remember, search
results won't necessarily contain all search words)
Use capitol letters when relevant
Search words with only small letters will give results with both
small and capital letters. An example: If you search using the word
drawing written only in small letters the result will contain small
letters as well as capitol letters, resulting in the listing off
all documents with the words drawing, Drawing and DRAWING. But if
you simply write Drawing in the search panel the result will be
a list off all files containing the word Drawing.
Use quotation-marks (inverted commas)
Use quotation-marks to find words that are meant to figure together.
An example: "Peter Bonde". Otherwise the result will be
a list of all files containing the word Peter and Bonde but not
necessarily with any connection between the two. If you use quotation-marks
you will get results that precisely cover the search for Peter Bonde.
Use plus (+) or minus (-)
Put a plus before (in front of) your search word or sentence if
you want the word or sentence to figure in the search result. Use
a minus in the same way to mark words that are not wanted. The plus
lets the search machine know that a certain word or sentence must
appear in the search result and a minus indicates that a word or
a sentence must not appear in the search result.
OBS: Quotation marks must be used when the search word(s) is a
sentence. There must not be any space between the plus or minus
and the search word(s).
OBS: If you use advanced search with the functions "any word",
"all words" or "as written", plus and minus
can only be used when the "any words" button has been
chosen. Plus and minus in from of the search word is ignored by
the search machine if "all words" or "as written"
buttons are chosen.
Use wildcards
Wildcards can expand the amount of search results. The character
* is used to define the wildcard function. An example: Printing
wh* in the search panel will search for the words: which. where,
why, when and all other words beginning with wh. Searching *whe*
will find results containing the words where, nowhere, and so on,
finding words that contain whe anywhere in the word. Wildcards can
be combined with plus (+) and minus (-) and with quotation marks.
+*vh* -se*ch will come up with all files that contain words beginning
with vh and that don't contain words beginning with se and end on
ch.
"Wh* is" will find files that contain: Who is, What is,
Why is and so on.
