In Browse & Search typing in the term ‘dragon’ or even ‘drag’ results in an ‘internal error’ and necessitates restarting the browser.
Thanks Daniel. Etienne is looking into it.
Thanks for the bugreport Daniel.
One of the items in the search results for “dragon” was triggering an error in the template, as it does not have any textual correlate. While I have not narrowed down exactly which item this is, I have added a safeguard in the code to not produce an error in such cases, and at least it will show the rest of the results.
So for now, you can continue searching as normal while we track down the exact source of the error.

Just checked the English version of the data files for any concept without a textual correlate. Used the regex |[^a-z|0-9|(|'|é|.| ] and only found 41A77111| as a candidate notation without a textual correlate.
Have deleted it from the datafile, but this concept has nothing to do with dragons, so it seems unrelated to the problem.
The culprit is: 98C(OLYMPIAS)211
It is listed as a notation, but does not have any textual correlate in English.
The culprit’s source:
The notation was created some 20 years ago to tag a chapter of the story of the birth of Alexander the Great which was not covered by its parent concept 98C(OLYMPIAS)21 Olympias, mother of Alexander the Great, embraced by a serpent or a dragon.
The illustration for which it was created is found in The Hague, Koninklijke Bibliotheek MS 78 D 38, volume II, fol. 69v:
It represents an extension of the story of how Nectanebus (or Septanabus in this Dutch “Historiebijbel”) impregnated Olympias in the absence of her husband Philip of Macedonia, while assuming the dragon-like shape of the god Amon.
The dragon re-appears at a banquet and kisses the queen. A chicken then lays an egg in Philip’s lap from which a dragon appears; a “master Antifon” explains to Philip that “the world is round like an egg, and his wife shall have a son who will become a mighty king…”
The banquet scene and Philip consulting Antifon about the dragon and the egg, shown on the right, are not covered by the Iconclass concept.
It would make sense to add the story to the Iconclass schedules.
A transcription of the middle-Dutch text can be found in: M.K.A. van den Berg, De Noordnederlandse historiebijbel (Leiden, 1998), p.734
