closedWe are experiencing issues still with the search engine for 1989.
For example, if you search for “Wende” – you get a return of 453 items (I know we do not have that many objects with “Wende” in the title or text, although we do have several items from the Wende Museum (just not 453 items…).
If I were searching for “Bratislava” – which is one of the case studies about the “Bratislava Five” (item #125) – it returned 426 items, although none are close to this topic. Instead, it returned items on Poland, the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, Armenia and other areas. I did finally find the document, but it buried in the fourth page of results.
When searching for “East Germany” the first return is a poster on “Traditional Soviet Values for children” (Item #3). Viewing the item, there is no reference at all to East Germany anywhere in the text.
Searching for “Honecker” (say I am looking for item #301 – Erich Honecher’s Reden und Aufsätze) it is the 18th return (it seems like the first results are the same no matter what you search for - #3 is always there). The Honecker item should come up easily, since I tagged it with “Honecker.”
Is there any way to optimize this search function?
Thanks,
Jon
