A new, advanced search function on the Newman Portal now allows users to more closely tune their search results. The search fields are self-explanatory but a couple examples are instructive.Suppose one wants to search for auction appearances of Vermont cents in auction catalogs between 1850 and 1860 - in this case select "Auction Catalogs" in the Content Type field, set the PublicationYear from 1850 to 1860, and enter the text "Vermont Cent" (or "Vermont") in the Search field. "Vermont Cent" yields 16 matches, primarily from Bangs and Cogan sales.

As another example, contributing organizations can now specifically search within their own content. Setting Title to "Penny-Wise" and the text to "S-15", for example, yields over a hundredmentions in Early American Coppers' Penny-Wise of this well-known 1793 large cent variety.
