AltaVisor Search Help

Ask a question, or type a few words. AltaVisor understands plain English questions such as Where can I find pictures of hamsters? It throws away the little words and looks for the important ones. Pages that contain all of your words come first.

Make a word required: put a plus sign in front of it: +hamster dance
Leave a word out: put a minus sign in front of it: java -coffee
Find a phrase: use double quotes: "under construction"
Wildcards: an asterisk at the end matches any ending: comput*

Special words:
host:yowza.localhost - only pages from that host (the More pages from this site link uses this)
title:guestbook - the word must be in the page title
url:dogs - the word must be in the page address

Languages: choose a language from the menu to see only pages written in it. Yes, Pig Latin counts.

Pictures and sounds: choose Images or Audio above the search box and AltaVisor will show you the pictures and sound files found on pages about your words.

Translate: every result has a Translate link. Parrot will retell the page in another language.

Where do the pages come from? Skeeter, our spider, follows links from page to page and reads everything he finds. See the crawler report for what he read on his last trip.

Family Filter: AltaVisor does not need one. Everything Skeeter found is about hamsters, recipes or Y2K.
