Subject: Archives searching: new file
Hey everyone,
*putting hair in bun and wearing horn-rimmed glasses*
Librarian-ish newsflash. I just uploaded a guide to searching the FHL
archives into the Files area. It is a slightly-reworked and webbified
version of a post I wrote awhile back. It explains all the gory details
about the mysterious Yahoo! Groups search engine. Mysteries explained:
- Why you can't just type "ECE" into the archives search box and get
a useful result if looking for information about, well, ECE.
- Where the Archives Search feature is in the first place
- Strategies for broadening or narrowing your search as needed
The files are at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Ferret-Health-list/files/
This particular one is called "Archives_Search". Feedback always welcome
- directly to me is probably best to save list space.
(And thanks for the warm welcome to the Moderation team - I was absolutely
floored to have been asked!)
Best wishes,
-Pam S.
