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.
Number of documents found: 1. Click on a document to view it, or submit another search.
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'
