Search Tips

The filter search within the tabular database listing allows you to filter by specific terms. These filters are limited to unique search terms that can be found in the table fields. This allows you to search for properties such as locations, contracting parties, or years, but the filter search does not capture terms or phrases outside the specified filter categories. If you are searching for a combination of properties, you can enter them in the search field, separated by spaces. In this case, only those entries that contain all the terms entered will be displayed.

The filter search is supplemented by the full-text search, which can be accessed via the magnifying glass icon in the navigation bar. The full-text search offers a more comprehensive view of all content on the website. For example, terms and content from contract texts, names, or even GND-IDs of parties involved can be found in the data and texts of the respective entries.

Depending on your needs, either the filter search or the full-text search may be the appropriate method for finding the desired data.
