Another, maybe less complicated, way to locate the article is to type <Venice> (without the <>
into the "text search" box at the top of the page and press "find" to the right. When the next screen appears, scroll down until you see the message title. The one you want is currently number 26.

Thanks very much.. When searching I typed Frommers instead of Frommer's.. that may have been the problem. I also stopped at the newsstand and looked thru the April edition not knowing it is the May edition. thanks again..

You can't use special characters like apostrophes in search words so that isn't the reason (try it, you'll get nothing). <BR><BR>It may not be indexed yet and that's why it doesn't show up by searching under frommers -- it's only a couple days old. I find the search usually works but not for certain posts mysteriously. This one, for example, does not show up for me when I do a search on venice. There was one post I wanted to find that I posted on that would not turn up in any search in words that were in it, no matter what I tried--I had to find it simply by clicking on my own name to see my history, even though it was old enough to be indexed.

I might be wrong, but I think that the indexing of the body of a message and the indexing of the message header occur at the same time. So, the fact that it can be retrieved by my search on "venice and florence" suggests that it has indeed been indexed.<BR>
