Visual Index searching involves scanning groups of schematic-style diagrams or drawings assembled on the basis of a shared characteristic such as title or function. In the completed database, such pages will be generated automatically by search requests. In the meantime, one sample page is available, that which would be generated by a search of the form "title=wrench."
The "gallery" feature allows visual searches of groups of photographs assembled on the basis of a shared characteristic such as title or function. In the completed database, such pages will be generated automatically by search requests. In the meantime, one sample page is available, that which would be generated by a search of the form "title=plane".
This feature is not yet implemented.
A form something like this will be the front end, (probably with alternative 'quick search' and 'MARC search' forms that I have omitted here), but the search engine and search scripts are of course not in place. This is only a mockup.
