First enter your search text and identify whether you are searching within the (1) INSCRIPTION, (2) the purchaser's NAME, or (3) the BRICK ID. You can change the sort order or click the boxes for a different look, but you must press SEARCH each time to see the effect of any change.
Searches are case insensitive (jones, Jones, or JONES are the same). Unless you are using wildcards (see Advanced Searching below) you are looking for an exact match. Thus, John J Doe does not find John J. Doe.
It is easier to find what you are looking for by using part of a name, like Kath to find Kathryn, Kathy and Kathleen-- or memo to find memorial and memory.
The asterisk (*) is a wildcard that matches any string. It even spans multiple lines if you are searching brick inscriptions. To increase the chance of finding what you want place it between words. For instance, seaching for Bill*Lois finds cases where Bill precedes Lois even if there are other letters, symbols, or inscription lines between them. Be sure to do another search for Lois*Bill to find instances where Lois comes first.
The Brick ID identifies its location. L-T2-012 is the ID for brick 12 in section T2 on the Lamoni campus. To find all inscribed bricks in this same section use L-T2-. To find all #12 bricks in any of Lamoni's brick plaza sections use L-*-012.
For a general view of the Lamoni or Independence campus brick plaza site, press the respective map site button. Next click on a section and then a brick to see a photo if one exists. Bricks with inscriptions are color coded.
Another way to see a brick image and its location on the campus site map is to first do a search to find a brick entry and then click its individual MAP button.
