Now are Boolean searches and quoted strings usable in the archives? I don't remember whether they've worked the way I'd like. Of course, if it takes google, then David's cost issue is understandable. I like haivng a link to Google - can a search parameter be sent as part of that link? Without paying for it? <g>

Boolean searches work, quoted strings do not.

One major problem with using Google is: Google doesn't index pages recently added until it is aware that they are there. I have no way to tell Google to index the site.

My search engine is run every 6 hours (unless I'm working on things), so pages added recently are almost guaranteed to be there.
