test with idum0044
no Idumea in location list on search page, and if you look for all inscriptions, and try the facets for settlement (city) then it doesn't show up. It appears in the old site. You can see the inscription if you just type the URL https://library.brown.edu/iip_development/viewinscr/idum0044/

Has to do with the way location is encoded in the inscriptions

Idumea inscriptions have location encoded as follows:

<region>Negev</region>
<settlement>Unknown</settlement>

There is no geographic information and no settlement. Therefore, the word "Idumea" doesn't show up on the search page since the search terms come from either the settlement or the region elements. The Idumea inscriptions are found when searching for Negev but that's the only way to find them.

We either have to put the term Idumea into the region or settlement field or perhaps into the Site, so that the inscriptions will appear in a text search. Currently the only way to search for inscreiptions from Idumea is to look for idum in the Inscription/Place/ID field.
