[meteorite-list] MetBul search of provisional or unknown meteorites

[Jeff Grossman]

The community is welcome to direct questions and suggestions about the 
MetBull Database to me.  I am the editor, author, and programmer of the 
database.

The pulldown item "Unclassified meteorites" captures the ones called 
"unknown".  Alternatively, you can click the "Classes" radio button and 
search for "unknown."  You cannot directly search for a specific class 
in the listings, as these meteorites have no published classification.  
But if use change the pulldown menu that defaults to "Normal table" to 
"Provisional", then the output of your search will include the 
description field, which frequently contains an unpublished classification.

I'd like to search the MetBul for a specific class of meteorite within the listings that have provisional numbers.  The "Classes" pulldown does not include "Unknown" and a straight up text search with the two terms does not work.
