Refining Your Search with Advanced Settings

You can refine your keyword search by specifying advanced settings such as the artist's name or title of work. You can also use the advanced settings instead of the keyword search if you already know specific information about the content you want to find.

You can define one or more of the following advanced settings.

After you define the settings, click the button to begin the search.

If you want to start a new search, click the button to clear all the information you've defined. You can then enter the information for the new search.

Artist's Name
Type the name of the artist associated with the content you want to find. You can type only a last name; you aren't required to include a first name. The search assumes that the last word you type is the artist's last name.

For example, if you type "Claude Monet", the search uses "Monet" as the last name. Remember that if you type only a last name, the results include content for all artists with that last name.

Note: If you are using the Artist's Name in combination with a keyword search, the results are affected by the Looking for value. For example, if you specify that you are looking for all of the words, the results include content that matches all the words in both the Keyword search box and the Artist's Name box.

Title of Work
Type the title of the work associated with the content you want to find.

Note: If you are using the Title of Work in combination with a keyword search, the results are affected by the Looking for value.

For example, if you specify that you are looking for all of the words, the results include content that matches all the words in both the Keyword search box and the Title of Work box.

Category/Medium
From the list, select the form of the work. For example, select Painting for results that include only paintings.

Note: Choose CMCP to search for works that belong to the National Gallery, but that are held in the collection at the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography.

Culture/Nationality
From the list, select the culture or nationality associated with the content you want to find.

Resources
Select the checkboxes that represent the resources that you want to search. The results include only the content belonging to the selected resources.
