Message-Id: <mailto:199508101632.LAA12217@library.wustl.edu> Date: Thu, 10 Aug 1995 09:28:14 -0700 From: Victoria Yturralde <mailto:vmyturralde@UCDAVIS.EDU> Subject: image limits To: Multiple recipients of list IMAGELIB
Kevin, et al--To clarify: We have yet to see an image database that allows text-based searches, according to information contained in the catalog record for that particular image. Also, we have yet to see more than 15 images brought up per request, even in thumbnail form. Needless to say, finding someone who has combined an effective search engine with multiple thumbnail results has been impossible.
My question on limits is theoretical: IF I could search an image database on a specific subject term--say, "tractors"--what would the limits be in terms of results? If I had 250 tractor images, would they have to be a.) further refined (i.e., diesel tractors, gas tractors) to keep to HTML limits, or b.) grouped by something like "Images 1-50," "Images 51-100", etc.
Am I making any sense?
