Search tips:<\/p>\n
This search feature is not as powerful as Google.\u00a0 To get the best results, try leaving your search description fairly general (e.g. Superfortress<\/em>, not Boeing B-29 Superfortress<\/em>).<\/p>\n Generally, you will get the best results if the word you are searching for is singular (e.g. helicopter<\/em>, not helicopters<\/em>).<\/p>\n \u201cOR\u201d is the default connector between words (e.g. a search for Guillows kit <\/em>will return records associated with Guillows<\/em> OR kit <\/em>\u2013 so you\u2019ll have Guillows and Cleveland kits mixed in your results).<\/p>\n If you want to find records where both keywords are found, type in AND between the two words (e.g. Guillows and kit<\/em> will return a result of a Guillows kit, <\/em>and will not contain any mention of Cleveland kits<\/em>).<\/p>\n To search for a specific phrase, be sure to put the phrase within quotes (e.g. “Guillows kit”<\/em>).<\/p>\n You can also use the asterisk (*) as a wildcard (e.g. a search for histor*<\/em> would come up with records containing history<\/em>, histories<\/em>, historical<\/em>, etc.).<\/p>\n Searches are not case sensitive.<\/p>\n Nationals<\/strong> has been abbreviated to Nats <\/strong>in almost all cases<\/p>\n Internationals<\/strong> has been abbreviated to Internats<\/strong> in almost all cases.<\/p>\n Events are always written with the year first.\u00a0 (e.g. 1969 Nats<\/em> and 1977 RC Soaring World Champs<\/em>).<\/p>\n Control Line<\/strong>, Radio Control<\/strong> and Free Flight<\/strong> are always completely written out.\u00a0 They are occasionally abbreviated to CL, RC and FF.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The software powering the National Model Aviation Museum’s Digital Collections has some quirky search features.\u00a0 And, the museum has standardized many common names and searches.
