Currently, the search feature will identify every possible match in the following fields:

Poet Name - first and/or last name

First Line - We have the ability to search through the first line of every poem in the database. If you remember a poem fragment (which hopefully contains the first line!), try searching for one of the key words to see if your poem comes up. If you cannot find your poem, please post a 'poem request' to our discussion board.

Poem Title - as always, if you remember the title but perhaps not the author, our search function should find it. As a note, we do not have 'common names' of each poem inserted into the database, that is also on our 'to-do list'.

Wish List:
Full Body Search - This feature would be nice! It would, however, also require some extensive programming to sift through the poem archive in our database without requiring enormous server resources per request. Since we're limited in free time, this feature has been a low priority.
