I like to ask how I can repair the "and"s in the below? Search results for '(header or head or headed or heading or headings or heads or headers) and and and (sample or sampled or sampling or samplings or sampler or samples or samplers)' --------------------------------- I am sorry (response to below), I changed my URLs! It will not change now, but it also probably won't get "test" anymore -perhaps "lots" and/or "text".
Thank you. Ted p.s. Boolean only becomes a choice (in the pop-up) after an initial search, is that right?
