The Search Engine scans the contents of the Black Stump site to match your input. It scans: (1) the URL code AND (2) the URL description AND (3) any associated keywords or comments Any matches are returned on the Search Response page categorised under the Black Stump category page upon which they exist. You may select to scan one of: (1) "All Sites" - the entire BlackStump site (2) "Australian Sites" - those sites which contain ".au" in their URL (3) "Software Sites" - those sites listed on the Black Stump Software page Select "Australian" or "Software", if applicable, to reduce the time to search. You may also reduce the time to search by selecting the number of sites to be returned. You may select 5, 10, 20 or All - the lesser number, the lesser time to search. You may select: (1) ANY to return links containing ANY of the words (or part thereof) you input, or (2) ALL to return links containing ALL of the words you input IN ANY ORDER, or (2) PHRASE to return links containing ALL of the words you input IN ORDER "The Black Stump" SEARCH Technique Instructions & Examples.... BIG TIP - use smaller search terms if you get a zero hit first time around e.g. if Garriga's Black Stump fails, try Garriga or Garr or Black or Stump etc The search is case insensitive i.e. it ignores upper/lower case Don't include quotes or brackets ("") in your search term The search engine will remove them anyway ! Use the PHRASE option. Search for a word or part of a word For example, info will return info, inform, information etc Search for multiple words or phrases For example, of the day returns Coolynx of the Day etc The search term is searched for in the URL, the hyperlink description and attached keywords Sometimes it's not obvious why a link is selected - it's probably in the actual URL
