HOW TO SEARCH FOR IMAGES AT ANISTR.COM
The search facility is very versatile.
You can enter words and names (e.g. Waterloo, Stanier, Black 5), numbers (e.g. 70000), codes (e.g. S15, 60xx, 4MT), years (e.g. 1966), decades (e.g. 1960s but NOT 1960's), the actual date in ddmmyyyy format (e.g. 09071967 to search for 09/07/1967) and you can enter the search terms singly or in combination.
'Boolean operators' will help you to refine your search. For instance:
- Steam 1960s - these search terms will return all images that have both the search terms in their data.
- Steam OR 1960s will return all images that have either the "Steam" term or the "1960s" term in their metadata. (Note that the OR operator must be in capital letters)
- "arrives at" will return images that match the exact phrase "arrives at" as that is what is between the inverted commas
