Philosateleian search upgrade

I’m working on the ongoing project of updating Philosateleia’s layout, and in the process discovered this week that Philosateleia’s search engine wasn’t doing all it should have been doing. A new back end is now in place, and you should find Philosateleia’s search feature to be greatly improved.

It seems Philosateleia’s existing search provider was not returning full result sets for searches. For example, a query for “American Indian” was returning only 16 results. Following the switch to the new search engine, that same query now returns over 200 results.

If you’ve tried searching Philosateleia in the past and couldn’t find the information you needed, please try again. I appreciate any feedback you offer.
