Public Search Across All Collections
At present we just have one publicly available collection. As we add collections we are concerned about whether clients will be able to search ACROSS our collections through the public Archive-it site.
-
Visitors to your public collections on archive-it.org have the ability to search by text across all of those collections; they will not see any results from any private collections. Searches performed on your current partner page, for instance, will only show results from the "University of Nevada, Las Vegas Web Archive" collection. If and when you decide to make more of your collections public, visitors will be able to search either across those collections or in one collection at a time.
For instance, here is a search for the term "Barack Obama" performed at the account level, which is to say across all collections, in the Internet Archive's own Global Events account: https://archive-it.org/organizations/89?q=barack+obama&page=1&show=Sites
In the example above, visitors can drill down to the specific collections containing these results by way of the facets at the top of the left-hand sidebar.
Alternatively, they may also begin with the public view of the collection itself and perform the same search in order to retrieve results specific to that collection. Here are results of the same search when performed specifically in the above account's Ukraine Conflict collection: https://archive-it.org/collections/4399?q=barack+obama&page=1&show=Sites
Searches performed across all accounts publicly visible on archive-it.org will return results that may be browsed together, and/or filtered in the sidebar by the collecting organization or the specific collection, as in this example: https://archive-it.org/explore?q=las+vegas&show=Sites
