Hi Reid, As far as I know, the search engine is not capital or lower case specific ... so words typed in either form should yield the same results. The (and) can begin capitalized, or be all capitals or lower case. Unfortunately, that's about as much as I know. But perhaps some others that are a bit more archive savvy than I, can answer the second question, which someone else just asked too. The other persons question was forwarded to Dale, as he might know. Thanks for the note about singular vs. plural too.

Mark, Thank you for so diplomatically posting the helpful suggestion about using the archives, and using a subject line that allows users to find your suggestions! I"m a search novice, with
A comment: it helps to make search terms singular ("tubular" catches more than "tubulars")
A question: does the "and" need to be in caps? I had just finished with searching another site where "and" and "or" need to be capitalized, am not clear about this site.
A question: can wild cards be used? Example: "tub*" would catch those folks talking about tubbies or however they spell it. "Camp*" catches Campy, Campag and Campagnolo.
