Search Tips

Use Sanskrit diacritic-format spelling.

Use it however, without the special characters. Therefore, "Ganesha" should be spelled "Ganesa"; the site "Sanchi" as "Sanci."

Wildcards (* or asterisk) are accepted.

For example searching for 'stu* ' would give you results with 'stupa' and 'stucco' in them.

The sounds like operator '~' (tilde) is accepted.

For example searching for Ganesha~ will also give you results which include Ganesa and Ganeshra. This type of search tends to return large results sets, especially when used in association with common terms such as Ganesa or Buddha. Use this kind of search if you are uncertain about the spelling of a term or keyword

The search does not understand special characters (like accents, etc.).

It will interpret special characters as symbols rather than as standard text. To obtain relevant results, simply enter search terms without using special characters.

The search is not case sensitive.

Therefore, "Ganesa" and "ganesa" will return the same results.

The search accepts Boolean operators such as AND, OR and NOT.

Make sure the Boolean operators are uppercase.

It is not necessary to include "AND" between search terms.

When you enter a phrase, the search automatically takes the individual terms in the phrase and inserts an 'AND' before searching.
