Pete and Roger - I took Pete's explanation into account and searched /http://edubabnet.com/go/search.php3 for a single word "Danville". No go. Using Arachne 1.66 and taking the site's "optional" STATE and COUNTRY slots to be obligatory, I got a hit. Which brings up the question, why do the three other browsers produce hits without the "optional" slots being filled in and Arachne needs them. I'm too unknowledgeable to figure that out, maybe the site is defective, but it does not inspire confidence in Arachne's ability to find information.

Entered: after sunset Searched: after%20sunset Result: "No Matches Found!" ....Rather annoying, isn't it? Pete<<
