Are the words in your query spelled correctly? 2) Try using synonyms. Maybe the site you're looking for uses slightly different words, like "film" instead of "movie". 3) Make your search more general. For example, instead of using specific product names, try using the generic product category. ------------------- Either MSN's search engine is crappy (duh), or this is another obviously biased attempt by M$ at FUDding free software. ===== John Hebert Official BRLUG Linux Curmudgeon Open Source Ankle Biter __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
