Best bulb fertilizer--Archive Search
P. C. Andrews (Wed, 25 Jan 2006 17:58:19 PST)

Hmmmm. What browser are you using? Not that it should matter, but I
sometimes see differences for certain sites.
+[pbs] [hippeastrum] site:///lists.ibiblio.org
got me 823 hits using both Firefox and IE from a PC.
255 hits using 'fertilizer'.

Interesting that the spaces are unnecessary:
+[pbs][hippeastrum]site:///lists.ibiblio.org
seems to work just as well. Smart Google.

I hope a more savvy member can help.
Regards,

Dear Mary Sue and others,

I've been trying to use Mary Sue's search formula, +[pbs] [search terms]
site:///lists.ibiblio.org on Google today without much success. Even when I
used the example given, i.e. searching on the word fertilizer, I got only
46
hits instead of the 261 Mary Sue reported.

I also searched on words which I'm sure I've seen in pbs postings, but
without finding any.

Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong? I've played around with
the
spacing, I've copied and pasted directly from Mary Sue's email, I've
monkeyed around with the search terms: so far, very little success.

Jim McKenney
