On this page Last updated July 28, 2004 Search Form
Use the form above to search for pages on this site containing specific words or combinations of words. The text search engine will insert a weighted list of matching documents just above this paragraph. Each list item (hit) is a link to a page containing matching text, with the best matches shown first. If the page has a title, it will be shown; otherwise only the page's file name is displayed. Once on a matching page, use your browser's Find command to drill down on your target. In Internet Explorer, for example, you'll find the "Find (on this page)..." command under the Edit menu, but it's readily invoked with the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+F. See below for a brief explanation of the query language, with examples and a few searching tips.

On Final ApproachIf a hit link provided fails to take you directly to the spot on the target page, use your browser's "Find" function to close in on your quarry.

Searching for phrasesUnfortunately, searching for phrases exclusive of component words doesn't seem to be possible with this Microsoft FrontPage Extensions search engine.
