Search.cgi and arguments? A Syntax question
The search for a simple word is "http://server.domain.com/...?query=communication". What if I want to search "accounting or finance"? What are the argument I should use?

Thanks

Goto search.cgi, and use the BOOLEAN searches. I'm not sure of the exact syntax, but the original templates should give it away.

Just had a quick look. You should be able to use;

bool=and

or

bool=or

..both obviously respective to their values.

By the way, Andy, do I have to find this info in the templates? Is it in the manual?
