Thank you!

lol, I didn't make it though! That was 100% Janet's work, and she has it in her signature now as well, but I'm just trying to spread the word more!

I haven't tried it yet, but JohnB agrees with you that it works much better. The site's search feature is very primitive and doesn't combine terms for searching. It just pulls results for each term listed.

OK Janet than "kudos" too you as well!!!

Kathy, over the weekend I took the quest to the moderators forum about how to try and understand our search tool so we can create a thread on how to use it. In this process Janet created a custom Google search which fills in a lot of the missing things we do not yet seem to know how to do on the SOC search. The Google Custom search will be part of the new thread still in development.

The other part in this is I have actually figured out how to use some of the SOC search after understanding what certain terms mean and what I was doing wrong.

Look forward to a show and tell thread soon to come on how to better search SOC.

Thanks

John

Well John B then "kudos" to you too! When will the classroom session take place? You know me I'm a "have to see person"!

John thanks for taking this on. I agree the native site search tool is a bit feeble (key words only). Google rocks
