Search

Warning, this is probably what I know the least about, although I always seem to find what I'm looking for.

The thing I search for most is usually Specific Midis.
I was recently looking for "Blue Skies".

So, I went to Yahoo that time, (I use them all one time or another).
In the top Search Box there, I first typed in
"Midis"

After that "Search" brought up 100's of Thousands of URLs for Midis, I scrolled down to the bottom and did "Advanced" Search, by adding "Blue Skies" so it looked like.

"Midis" "Blue Skies"

I seem to have better luck when I do it that way, instead of typing them both in like above in the first Seach box.

This narrows the search down considerably, although you will still have plenty of choices.

Read your options to the links. Sometimes, they don't pertain to what you are looking for. So look for one that does Then click on the link and go check it out.

If you don't find it there, use your browers "Back" button, or

Hold down your "ALT" key and hit your "left cursor arrow" on your keyboard.
It will take you to the page you were previously at. You can do this to get back to your "Search".

Now, say you got to the page, and there is a long list you don't really want to read through to find that particular midi.
You can go up to

"Edit" then
"Find on this Page"
or
"CTRL" and hit your "f" key.

A box pops up and type in the particular words you are looking for on that page.
Click on "Find" button
It will take you right there.
If you are looking for another reference to the words
hit your F3 key. It will search for the next place those words are located.

If there are no more references for the word or words you typed in, a box will come up and say:

"Cannot find" and the word or words you typed.

I hope I've helped you some. I'm sorry I'm not better at this, but I always seem to find what I'm looking for somehow. {smiles}

I hope You do too!
