How can I search for all the work of a particular artist? Search box is useless.
Topic on Help talk:CirrusSearch
Do you speak of media in Commons? If so:
- First you could search for a template
{{Creator}}
for the artist you search for. Type in search:creator: artist name
or, if this lists too many results,creator: "artist name"
. - Then with the known creator template search for
file: hastemplate:"creator:artist name"
(strangely, this is apparently case sensitive for "artist name", which differs from the default behaviour of this filter). - Also, for every artist there should be a category which could be explored.
If want to search for media that is from an artist, but does not has the Creator template search for file: insource:"artist name" -hastemplate:"creator:artist name"
. If someone does not have a creator template then leave out the last part.
