Search Help

Enter any number of terms up to 150 characters max. Complete or partial terms may be searched. For instance, the search term "cer" will find any word containing "cer" including Acer, Cercis, and Lonicera, Saururus cernuus, Sisyrinchium angustifolium 'Lucerne' and any other instance of "cer" in the entire Photograph Collection database.

For best results, use search terms that are as complete as possible (e.g., "cercis" vs. "cer"). Multi word searches will yield fewer, but more specific results. The order they're typed in does not affect the results.

By default several database fields are included in each search: Plant Botanic Name, Plant Common Name, Plant Family Name, Names of people in the photo, Date, Photographer Name, Country, State, City, Location, Garden, Building, Event Name, Keywords, Other Notes, Serial #, Collection, Image name.

Power users may want to restrict search results to a single field in order to narrow down the number of search results. To do this you may manually add an optional 'compareField' parameter to the search URL. E.g., : https://jcra.ncsu.edu/resources/photographs/results.php?search=J. C. Raulston&comparefield=Photographer

Here is a list of allowed compareFields: Serial, Collection, Image, Date, Photographer, Country, State, City, Location, Garden, Building, Events, Key_Words, Other_Notes, All_Plant_Names, All_Common_Names, All_Family_Names, All_People.
