When the field names project was started, you could only search modern place names. Following a discussion with Chris Fleet, we decided to augment the tools. First the ability to search all the database fields was added (and specifically field name, farm name, parish and the long text field). And as of today that place name functionality has been expanded to include a National Grid Reference NGR and also the OS six inch 1885-1913 names. The example below shows the free field search in action.
