How to Use the Search Feature

If you are unfamiliar with the magnifying glass icon on a website, this Help article will get you started.

The Search feature is available to both members and nonmembers, however nonmembers will not be able to access many of the search results. And active members will need to remember to log in when accessing some of these same results.

The search bar is located in the header area of the website:

The magnifying glass icon (which indicates “search”) is located on the far right of the menu tabs. Select the magnifying glass icon.

Notice that a “Search ATHA” field is displayed. You can type anything into this field and then “enter” on your PC keyboard, or select “Search” on your phone or tablet keyboard.

In the example below, “Santa” has been entered as the search term.

And below is are the search results!

Note that the search results will identify the type of item that was found, and the little person icon means that to view the specific item, you must be logged into the website.

What if your search does not generate the results you expect? Don’t be discouraged. The ATHA website search is dependent on your behind-the-scenes team identifying and adding parameters to each of our data items to help them to be found. If you ran a search and didn’t find the results you would expect to see, let us know! (send an email to admin@atharugs.com). We are always interested in making sure our content is the best it can be and helpful to our rug hooking community.
