Hi Listers, The "Boards" appear to be DOWN this morning. (7:30am, Saturday 30 June). I thought I'd give you a run down on how to be successful when searching the boards. Use BOOLEAN operators to fine-tune your search (see below). The programmers are working on the search section, so BOOLEAN searches may not always work. Enclose a phrase or search string in quotation marks to find messages containing certain words in a certain order. The keyword(s) Worthington Hills Cemetery will find messages containing Worthington, or Hills, or Cemetery. Adding the BOOLEAN quotation marks to the search string, "Worthington Hills Cemetery", will return only messages in which that exact phrase appears. A plus sign (+) in front of a word means that word must be in pages for them to be a match. For example, Obituary +Thompson will return only messages containing the word, obituary, that ALSO contain the word, Thompson. A minus sign (-) in front of a word means that any page that has that word is excluded from the list of matches. For example, "Morgan County" -Roberts will return messages containing the phrase "Morgan County", that DO NOT contain the word, Roberts. Remember, the Search form ALWAYS DEFAULTS to ALL BOARDS, and if you want to limit your search to a particular board, you MUST click on THIS BOARD. The above "hints" work with MOST search engines in cyberspace. Good Luck, Marilyn Strout Marilyn
