mark I wasn't talking about porn but I never could limit my number of useable links to easily readable possibilities. I don't remember the specifics but it seemed like I would often get many duplicate links and I didn't know a way to "drill down" to find more relevant stuff. With Google I start by going to preferences and setting to english language sites only. In the toolbar, I first type in the major theme I would like information about (ie..windowsme) and hit the search button + shift key to launch the search in a new window, then scroll to the bottom of the page and drill down another notch using the "Search within results" link (ie: shutdown, troubleshooting or an error message, etc.) and then drill down another level to see if I can narrow the search more specifically. Regressing again, of course I first type in exactly what I need and hope I get lucky. There are also advanced search options available but I rarely use them. The toolbar let's you highlight the search terms. There is also a drop down menu for search history. tc
