New Feature Announcement: Enhanced Search Capabilities on Survey Result Cards
We are thrilled to introduce a significant upgrade to the Database of Materials on the History of Industrial Technology. Users can now benefit from an advanced search function specifically designed to retrieve information based on the date of survey form entry.

Incorporated to streamline and refine data accessibility, this new feature empowers users to conduct searches within precise survey periods. As the database inherently captures information at the time of the survey, this enhancement provides a tailored approach for extracting relevant historical insights.

We extend our gratitude for your continued support, and we hope this function adds to the overall user comfort, especially for those navigating in Japanese.
