Basic help             Basic Help Updated August 2004 This section, opened in January 2003, has only one simple purpose: to collect in a single, easy to peruse location, all those essays that cover some "general" aspects, and are not specifically 'advanced searching' related. It is in fact a known truth, that many newbies (inexpertienced web-users) lack the BASICAL know-how in order to make use of the wealth of information contained in this site (and in many other sites). Like it or not, take it as a medecine: consider the essays collected here as a MUST reading, in order to get further on the wondrous and magical searching wizardry. Any feedback / correction / suggestion for inclusion is welcome. [Essays]
