Please note that all entries in the fields are connected with the boolean AND , this means that every entry restricts your search in addition. The maximum number of results is unlimited . Should you receive too many results, please pose your search anew by using more restricting criteria.

There are differences between the search in descriptive data (metadata) and the full-text search. A full-text search can be only successful if the object was indicated. Pictures, videos and a few pdf-files are not indexed and for this reason they are only searchable about the metadata .

Keep in mind that search strings must have at least three characters . You can use an asterisk * as a wildcard. Currently the search is case-sensitive.
