Thanks Mark

I did get it to work, however, I couldn't get it to narrow down as much as I'd like. I was looking for a thread that I started over a year ago about cleaning your whistles. It went on for several pages and was pretty funny after a while. I wanted to attach it to a thread that rainmaker just started.
Thanks, Stan

Some Google tips:

If you're getting more returns than you like, you can eliminate pages with certain words with a minus sign.

Example: to eliminate pages that mention baseball use -baseball.

If you want to only see pages where the words happen together, include the two words in quotes.

Example: to find pages that mention the shoes new balance but not ones that talk about a new rule to balance the game, use "new balance" (with the quotes).

If you want to see pages with either word but not necessarily both, put the word OR between them.

Example: you want to find pages that mention bob jenkins or rainmaker, use "bob jenkins" OR rainmaker

The order in which you put things on google is irrelevant.

THere are lots more things you can do with google...all of them can be seen by using their "Advanced search" (a link to the right of the search term box). Try some things there, and see what it actually puts in the search term box once you click submit. For the basic ones I mention above, and a few others, you can type them directly. I use the minus and quotes very often. I do a search, then either add more specific terms or add minus terms to eliminate pages. You can really narrow a search down a lot using these features.
