TMP Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 AHHH!!! I'm almost on the verge of being neurotic. Every time I see a new listing under "History" keyword, I get eager and then when I see "Art History" for program, I just want to smack the table. When I type in "history" I mean HISTORY, not ART HISTORY. Who's with me? policysecond and watersnake 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaurenA Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I think it would be v. helpful if there could be a Boolean-type, multi-field search function, in that I could search for "psychology" and "University of Southern California"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeIsGood Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 This was driving me crazy, until I realized you could narrow the search. I searched under this: history -art -religion -music (yale|"chapel hill") It only gave me real history results for my two schools. Then I bookmarked it, so I can go there first. Of course, it isn't very satisfying because there are few posts under that search, so I've removed the schools, and now I get all history results.

When I type in "history" I mean HISTORY, not ART HISTORY. Who's with me? Wow, that must have been really difficult to wade through all three Art History results on the first page alone! (Only five AH results- total- in January) Everyone is waiting, everyone is neurotic. How do you think I feel having to type in a whole extra word to narrow the results?! It is unfair that art historians have co-opted your title in their discipline, I mean, it's not like it's based on historical inquiry or anything...oh wait...

Watersnake, thanks for giving me my chuckle for the day. Now go back to the art history forum where the crickets are chirping and the people who actually have results have been tight-lipped about it. watersnake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caligula Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 jmb04, I noticed you are doing 19th-century French art. My favorite painting is "The Death of Hyacinth" (Broc). I am by no means an art historian, (I'm an Americanist historian) but I thought you might appreciate this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem, jmb04, consider me officially relegated to forum of reticence. Too bad it wasn't you who heard from Northwestern- based on your concentration I can imagine why you applied there! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMP Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 Actually, I do like the idea of a drop down menu and a keyword search for the school(s). I should suggest that... but then again there are programs out there with weird names like Harvard's MA program in technology, education, and something else... program. No, really, I'm a fan of AH stuff but it's the damn keyword search function! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
