Using Google to Search this Site

Or, how to find what you are looking for here...

Google can be a great help in finding topics, documents, or article contents on this site, working almost as a combination database lookup and site map generator!

It performs nearly the same search that it does from its homepage, except it restricts its breadth of search to just this URL location. The resulting listings show the relative "popularity" of local articles and will indicate a ranking of these articles for any given topic or set of search keys...

Google may behave differently on a local search than on a wider net search. For example, it may treat the keys for digipeater, digipeaters, and digipeating as being "and'ed" locally; whereas, it may treat them as being "or'ed" for the web search from Google's homepage. (There does seem to be a difference in the outcomes...)

And, of course, for the "last word" in how to search, the Google home page has hints and tips about how to use their search engine... No one should know better than they! From "About Google," follow the help links at the top of the "About" page...
