Ahh.. What would I base such a write up on? Do you mean there is
|
|
souce documentation somewhere, or do you mean just from trial and
|
|
error?

Should I need ("") for an unbroken string with no spaces?
|
|
But trying it just now I get a messages back "No Entries Found"
|
|
|
|
Seems the message comes back far to quick for a search to have
|
|
happened, as if the software has reject the search entry or something.
|
|
|
|
And there are in fact a few entries like:
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Cable-Modem/hybrid.html">http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Cable-Modem/hybrid.html</A>
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/VPN-Masquerade-HOWTO-3.html">http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/VPN-Masquerade-HOWTO-3.html</A>
|
|
|
|
Turned up by the google search engine (using no quotes)
|
|
|
|
Running the same search with no quotes on the Wais based engine turns
|
|
up some 200+ hits, nearly none of which contain the exact hit.

|
|
|
|
Not being a wise ass here, but why can't it be updated in a timely
|
|
fashion?

|
|
|
|
Is that information available somewhere?
|
|
Would any of it be findable in the source code (by a non-programmer)?
