    Hmmmnnn looks yummy. Thankyou for the link. One thing though, I did some
    quick exploring of "marc" and found some verbose explanations of why
    and how it's there. What I didn't find, and something I've been asking
    for the fedora-list archive is a guide to how the search engine works.
    If it works like google then I suppose I can go to google and putz
    around with it's help files to refresh my memory on how to search for
    "all" search terms, or "any" search terms, and especially how to
    "exclude" a search term.

    But since nothing says all search engines have to use the same logic as
    google this would be pointless unless I had reason to believe it worked
    that way.

    Is there a how-to for either the RH archive OR marc that you could point
    me at???

    Otherwise I suppose I could set up some empirical tests where I knew
    some of the possible matches having them in my current fedora-save
    folder. But I got frustrated trying to do that with the RH archive.
    Either I didn't set it up right, or the testing failed because of the
    alleged problem with the search... In any case Sooner or later, I'll
    figure out the method used by marc, as from the look of it, it's a good
    resource that I've already bookmarked with two of my broswers...

    Thanks
