## Exploring Archives (Browse, Search and Replay)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The ReplayWeb.page homepage lists an index of all loaded archives. You can also search by archive title or source
|
||||
and filter by date loaded or title.
|
||||
|
||||
Once loaded, the archive remains cached in the browser for quick access. This view will be unique to your browser.
|
||||
To remove the archive from your browser, click on the 'X'. (Of course, this does not delete the archive from its original location, only your local copy of it)
|
||||
|
||||
### Archive Views
|
||||
|
||||
Although primarily designed for replay, ReplayWeb.page also offers several ways to interact with web archives.
|
||||
|
||||
The archive view presents several tabs:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Story** - This Story view presents lists of curated pages, as developed by the creator of the web archive.
|
||||
This option is only shown if there is a curated story. As curated lists are not a standard part of WARC, only WARCs exported from Webrecorder.io/Conifer can have this option.
|
||||
|
||||
The new [Web Archive Collection (WACZ)](web-archive-collection-format) can also include curated lists.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Pages** - The Pages view presents all pages in the web archive. As pages are not a standard part of WARC format,
|
||||
generally only WARCs from Webrecorder.io/Conifer will have pages.
|
||||
|
||||
The new [Web Archive Collection (WACZ)](web-archive-collection-format) can also store pages.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
- **Page Resources** - This view allows searching the archive by URLs, as well as by common MIME type.
|
||||
|
||||
For many archives with no page or curatorial metadata, this is a way to explore the archive data in more detail.
|
||||
|
||||
This view is available for all archives that only store raw data.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Replay** - The view presents a replay of the archived web content in a mini-browser directly your browser. The view allows entering a URL directly. Clicking on links on any of the other views will switch to the **Replay** view.
|
||||
|
||||
### Search
|
||||
|
||||
Both the Page Resources view provide ways to search the archive directly.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Searching Page Resources
|
||||
Page Resources allows searching by URL only, with additional sorting options.
|
||||
Searches can be done by exact url, by url prefix, or by any string contained in the URL.
|
||||
|
||||
The URL Prefix option is best for searching large archives that require on-demand loading.
|
||||
The contains option will not find any URLs that have not yet been loaded.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Searching Pages
|
||||
|
||||
The Page view search includes page titles, urls and page full text search, if available.
|
||||
|
||||
ReplayWeb.page will currently generate full ext search data from WARC pages automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
ReplayWeb.page will soon load existing extracted full-text data as well.
