Searching for data
There are several ways for searching data:
1) Companies vs materials. Data in the list of companies and in the list of materials may sometimes duplicate each other but not always. The list of materials is an overview of very concrete offerings - the quantity (estimate or counted) is known and the description of the material is clear. The list of companies is rather meant for giving the overview of the companies who are ready to cooperate including those who don't have a clear overview of their waste yet. Sometimes a company has several type of waste to offer and the company overview is then more comprehensive.
2) Search by keywords. You can see a list of keywords together with each post. If you click on a keyword the list of all companies/materials will be provided which are linked to this keyword.
3) Search from the map. It is possible to search either by location or by map layers. To search by location, you can navigate the map and zoom in or out to specify the area you are interested in and then click on a pin to see the post linked to this location. The map layers match the list of keywords; you can activate or deactivate the layers one by one.
4) Search text. The search box above makes the search over the whole database at once.

We would like to underline that it is very useful if there was an illustrative photo added to each post, both in the list of companies and materials. It enables the viewers to get better overview of the catalogue.
When you add a post, please note that there is an additional field for adding keywords. You can use any keywords that might help finding your post (comma separated). But if possible please use the pop-up list for repeating the keywords already activated in the system.
