To find
a specific exhibit or information on the Wright Brothers or early aviation, use our
handy-dandy looker-upper below. Just type the subject in the box, and click "Start
Looking."
Important Note: To use this feature, your browser
must support active page elements. Also, even if your browser can handle these
elements, our internal search engine has some bugs that we are still trying to
exterminate. (Apparently, there's a conflict with our ISP.) However, you can work around
the bugs by following the directions below. We
apologize for the inconvenience, but we thought a buggy search engine would be better than
none.
If you get a 404 error -- "Page
Cannot Be Found" -- when you attempt to access the pages returned by the search engine, follow
this procedure:
 | Right click on the page you want to access. A menu appears. |
| Choose "Copy shortcut" (in Explorer), "Copy link
location" (in Navigator), or whatever action allows you to copy the page
address. |
| Paste the shortcut or link location
in the address box of your browser. To do this, highlight the address that's there, right
click on the highlighted text, then choose "Paste" from the menu that appears. |
| Edit the address that replaces the old one. Note that it has two
"/first-to-fly.com" directories. This is the bug that is giving us fits.
Delete the second "/first-to-fly.com" directory. It probably appears as
"/first%2Dto%2Dfly.com." (For those of you who reached us
through our wright-brothers.org URL, our original web address was
"first-to-fly.com.") |
| Push <ENTER> and the page you want should appear. |
If that doesn't work, you can also look up the name of the page in the Museum
Contents in the Museum Guide.
Again, sorry for the hassle. Hopefully, it's only temporary.
Looking
Harder
Refine your search by using the words AND, OR,
and NOT, and grouping words with parentheses. For example:
- wright airplane
- finds museum exhibits containing 'wright' or 'airplane'
- wright or airplane
- produces the same results as above
- wright and airplane
- finds exhibits containing both 'wright' and 'airplane'
- wright not airplane
- finds exhibits containing 'wright' but not 'airplane'
- (wright not airplane) and Orville
- finds exhibits containing 'Orville', plus 'Wright' but not 'airplane'
- air*
- finds exhibits containing words starting with 'air'
