On the vertical menu to the right, users can use the toggle buttons to show/hide the equivalent layers on the map:
Results. This is the frame where search results are displayed. Results from all layers are shown here, filtered based on your search criteria.
Search Box. Here, you can type the name of the feature you are looking for and all layers will be searched. You can enter either the full name or part of the name to ensure more results. If you are unsure of the term's spelling, it is better to enter only part of it. You can enter text in Latin or Greek letters, but if you search for a term in Greek, make sure to use polytonic script. Capital letters are not taken into account for the search.
Examples: If you want to search for Alexandreia but want to find different spellings of the word, you could enter "Alexandr" or, for even more results, "Alexa".
Label Filters: Use the toggle buttons to search for either a Greek name (in Greek letters or transliterated), a Latin name, or a Modern name of a feature. You can also use combinations: for example, if only the buttons for the Greek and Modern names are pressed, then the search will be conducted only in those database fields. No results will then be returned from the database field for the Latin names.
Search Type: Use the toggle buttons to specify how the search term should match:
