Search Tips

Improved Search Implemented

Thanks to many suggestions from our web customers we have recently implemented a system to improve the search capabilities of the NPH online catalog. The new system allows the data to be manipulated in much more detail than before. This means that searches will be much more targeted to the key words that you are looking for.

Another example of an improvement is the fact that the system will now quantify the number of search results. At the top of the search result page you will see a line that says something like the following example:

Showing 1 - 20 of 171 products matching the search term "niv".

Another way to make the search more useful for you is to narrow the search down by category.

Our search tool will search the "Entire Online Catalog" by default. You also have the option of searching by "Catalog Item Number, Artist, Author, Composer, Subject, Title, etc." This can be done by selecting a category from the pulldown menu under the search box.
