| Main Search Engine |
| - Clicking "Search" with no search terms selected will show you all the stories in the database, sorted by title. |
| - Use the search terms to narrow down your search. |
| - Use "Exclude" to eliminate what you really don't want. For example, maybe you don't want to see any G-rated fics. you perv |
| - The more search terms you select, the smaller the list of results you will get. |
| - You can search for Author or Title by typing in just a few letters of a name, or a word or two of a title. This is handy if you can't quite remember the title or the name of the author. |
| - If your results are wonky, try hitting Reset (you might still have terms selected from your last search). Also, make sure you didn't select Exclude when you meant Include (or vice versa). |
| - If you discover mis-labeled or poorly labeled stories, or have suggestions for additional keywords or categories, I'd be most grateful if you would email me. Thanks! |
