Sorry to as an eamuseum question in the TMS list, but I assume many of you also use eMuseum. 

How configurable & searchable are constituents in eMuseum. I see various institutions including various fields, but so far I don't find them searchable. Can it be configured to search for, say, female painters in Spain in the 1700s? The gender and discipline would come from a custom thesaurus, and the location and dates from addresses. I do something like this with Photographers' Identities Catalog (a custom built app http://pic.nypl.org/map/?address.AddressTypeID=*&address.CountryID=20&bbox=*&Nationality=*&gender.TermID=2027998&process.TermID=*&role.TermID=*&format.TermID=*&biography.TermID=2028094&collection.TermID=*&DisplayName=*&Date=%5B1687%20TO%201899%5D&mode=2)

Anybody doing adventurous stuff with names in eMuseum? I haven't found anything more than a free-text search of the Display Name field.
