DataBase Search

Dear SQFTers,

Joe Hemmens sent directions to search the listserv below are his directions plus
 some more.  Good searching.


Here are my directions copied from the BRAINTMR LIST.  Change the word BRAINTMR
 to SQFT and the listserv to <LISTSERV@UMSLVMA.UMSL.EDU>.  Have fun and if you
 need additional help write to me privately<v*@icdc.com>

>Word searches can be accomplished through the BRAINTMR listserver.
>
>In performing a word search, try to keep the word(s) you want as
>general as possible, until you get comfortable with the procedure.
>For example, if one wanted to do a word search for "1957 Pink Caddylack",
>we probably wouldn't have any luck (we wouldn't get any "HITS"); first
>the search is too specific, and second, the word "Cadillac" is misspelled.
>But, if a word search started out more general, then the searcher
>can get more specific later.
>
>     Word Search "CADILLAC", results in 100 hits
>     Word Search "PINK CADILLAC", results in 5 hits
>     Word Search "1957 PINK CADILLAC", results in 2 hits
>
>     --------------------------------------

>            index

>     Leave out parentheses around your word or phrase.
