Re: searching the web

[Kim Monaco <kimberleym@ATT.NET>]

I saved the post about the above; I teach basic Internet
at my library and do want to delve into proper search
methods (I make a point to say "do not .com every word!")

I just used Alta Vista, though, at my last class and it
seems to have added types of searching and no longer
requires the "+"- still works, it seems, though I looked
pretty stupid when I was showing the help screen and
right there it said to not use the "+"!

I cannot vouch for where it was exactly, but it is in
there...
