Indeed. I sometimes had to use advanced searches, but you need to search (sic) for that picture of a gear (options), where you can then search (sic) for 'advanced search'.

I don't like to see (annoying) sponsored hits, but then Google is a free thing and must make money in one or other way. My pet peeve is - when I search a word in a language, not English, then Google is useless. Perfect search engines have not been invented, but I recall in the early years of Internet, you could hire 'search experts' to do searches for 'search challenged' dummies... :-D Hmmm, now with all those threads, how do you search for that perfect Operating System? :-D Groete / Greetings Elardus Engelbrecht ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
