Why doesn't this search work in WikiTree+?

Question

https://wikitree.sdms.si/default.htm?report=srch1&Query=Crawford_Y-STR_Group_R1b&MaxProfiles=500

finds zero profiles. It's on my own profile, as an example

Comments

Is it meant to search on DNA results? I don't see anything on the help page about DNA. It doesn't search on text in the bio.

---

No, on profiles who have a category added by me as YDNA descendants of someone with that haplogroup

---

This is the search. https://wikitree.sdms.si/default.htm?report=srch1&Query=Crawford%2BY-STR%2BGroup%2BR1b&MaxProfiles=500

If you have only placed the other profiles in the category recently you will need to wait until next week to find them.

---

Ah, thats probably the timing then, in addition to the + instead of underscores. Can you add your comment as an answer, please,  so I can select it as best and close this one out? Thank you!

---

Now you get a list of 131 profiles.

This is great, Ales. Can you confirm for me that because you're using CC BY 3.0, I could capture images off the map, or create animated gifs to show movement across time (say generation by generation of descendants)? I can include a link to the license on the DNA pages where I include that, to help. And of course, would highly recommend other users take full advantage of WikiTree+

CC BY 3.0 is the licence for Stamen maps, that are based on OpenStreetMaps data. That is for the background.

The rest of the data is from WikiTree and can be used based on the WikiTree licence.

Answer 1

If you want to search for profiles in a category, use the "CategoryFull=" field name:

https://wikitree.sdms.si/default.htm?report=srch1&Query=CategoryFull%3DCrawford_Y-STR_Group_R1b&MaxProfiles=500

Also, at the very bottom of the results, there is a Data Date. This currently shows 10 Oct 2021, so if you made changes after this date, they will not show until the next report is loaded (which should be soon).

Answer 2

Here are all of the Y-DNA descendants of your earliest known Crawford ancestor in WikiTree https://www.wikitree.com/treewidget/Crawford-420/890

Thanks Peter, but I'm actually using these categories to group multiple branches in the Crawford surname, so we can track how they might be connected and inform each group when more info becomes available. For example, Arden Lowell Crawford is also in the same R1b category, but we don't know where the connection in the tree between his family and mine are yet. (Suspect sometime between 1500 and 1700, probably in Scotland)

Thanks, that's exactly what I used to set up the categories! See https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Crawford_DNA

Why not follow the convention of “Crawford Y-STR Group 1”?

There is already another surname project admin who would prefer to use colors instead of numbers or letters of the alphabet.

I am trying to match up to the Crawford Y-DNA study on FTDNA, so it's easier to look at the data in both places. Dave Nicolson has already done a great job grouping and identifying those lineages, I'm just trying to use the information on WikiTree to make that more evident for researchers here. He's essentially doing that "Group 1, Group 2" stuff, but underneath each haplogroup or major groups within each haplogroup (I1/I2/R1a/R1b/etc.)
