Hints and Examples:

• Each page must be searched individually. The search function will not look for words on all pages in the website at once. If you have more than one window of your browser open, make sure the page you want to search is the active window.
• Keywords are found one at a time, as they appear in the page from the point where you began your search. If you find no matches, try starting at the top of the page and search DOWNwards.
• Keywords will be searched exactly as you type them in. Please check the spelling of your words and try as many forms of those words as possible for the best results.
• In the case of irregular plurals, (like ruby/rubies) try searching with the form of the word with the most common consecutive letters (rub), so you can find all instances of that word, or search by both terms, one at a time.
• You can only search for 2 or more words at a time if they appear in consecutive order.
• If you are looking for a a city/state combination (such as a gem show in Baltimore, MD) you may want to search first by city in case abbreviations are used inconsistently.

*Other browsers have not been tested and may or may not work. If you are using America Online's browser, you can try saving the text as a file and using your favorite word processor to look for the desired keywords.
