Searching
In the ORMS Webdrawer you will find additional fields to refine your search:
- First be sure that the Jurisdiction "Oregon City, City of" is selected to search in Oregon City records
- Then pick how you would like to search:
- Searching by "Any Word" will search any word in either the Title field or the Notes field for a record
- Date Created (not recommended)
- Document Content will search the entire document content; expect a longer search time
- Record Number (not recommended)
- Title (free text part):
- This search is an exact match search of the Title field for a record
- Not recommended unless you have the exact title
- Title Word will search any word in the Title field for a record - most recommended
- Use the wildcard * to increase your search success; for example, "Ord*" will return Ordinance, Ordinances, ORD, ordinary, order... etc.
The title format varies for Oregon City Records:
- Meeting minutes or agenda packets "YYYY-MM-DD Meeting Body Type" for example "2016-04-06 City Commission Minutes"
- Resolutions are named "Resolution YY-NN" for example "Resolution 15-05" will find the 5th Resolution from 2015
