@mention searches

Tom Couch edited this page Sep 22, 2022 · 1 revision

@mentions are supported on various forms to enable users to create links to other content in the database; for example, where someone might want to refer to a specific work in an Antiquarian's introduction.

Adding an @mention

  • All @mention searches begin with a two letter short code indicating the target model type (see table below)
  • After a brief delay, the page will display a list of all items belonging to the content type requested
  • To narrow the list further, you can add more keywords after the two-letter short code by separating them with a colon; e.g. @aq:marcus:varro
  • Only items that match all keywords are returned
  • Some object types support numerical keywords:
    • Fragments: a numerical keyword matches its order with respect to an antiquarian or work; e.g. @fr:varro:1 will match the first fragment in each of Varro's works
    • Unlinked Fragments: a numerical keyword matches the Unlinked fragment's name; e.g. @uf:32 would match Unlinked 321, Unlinked 322, Unlinked 323 etc.
    • Anonymous Fragments: numerical keywords match the Anonymous Fragment's order; e.f. @af:123 would match Anonymous F123
