Guest guest Posted March 10, 2000 Report Share Posted March 10, 2000 Greetings Advaitins: The search facility at Escribe.com archive facility is quite powerful. The archives are also located at /messages/advaitin/ However, the files are organized by chronological order starting from 31 August 1998. These archives contain close to 4400 articles. Most of the key topics related advaita vedanta can be traced through the search. If you search using key words some precautions are necessary (True for all search engines). Search Engines collect pages by bit-matching and consequently, spelling errors are not tolerated. This raises an interesting question regarding advaita articles: A search for <Shankara> will not identify Sankara! A search for <Bhagawatpaada> will not identify <BhagavadPaada>! As seekers of Truth, we should recognize that the search for Truth requires patience and we should question our perceptions and try other options! If we have the determination, we can locate the article through a combination of - author, title and keyword search! Let us not give up!! regards, Ram Chandran ======================================= Somet Tips for searching the archives at: http://www.eScribe.com/culture/advaitin/ ======================================== Exact Matches: Searching for a word will find that exact match. A search for human, for instance, will not match humanize. Wildcards: You can use a * (that's an asterisk) as a wildcard. Searching for *human*, for instance, will match humanize, inhuman, and dehumanize. Case-insensitivity: All searches are case in-sensitive. Searching for HuMaN will yield the same results as a search for human. AND Searches: Separating search terms with a space creates an AND search, where documents must contain both search terms to qualify. So searching for alien planet will find documents which contain both alien and planet. Subjects and bodies: Searches are performed on both the subjects and the bodies of the messages in the archive.
