Hemmings used to have a very good search engine, but since then it has changed. The Los Angeles Recycler has a decent search engine. A really good search engine is the Patent and Trademark Office. You can enter a string of description and it would narrow it down to what you want. Good luck on your newsletter! Lito You can search on these types of details. Place your specifications inside of quotation marks.... ex. "1969 ford" In this example, all ads that contain 1969 ford will appear on the screen for your selection. There is a problem with the search function that we are trying to work out. In the above example, the short descriptions that appear for the ads is not clear. Instead of printing 1969 ford, it shows, as an example, "NHRA Nostalgia Classified Advertisement on The Racers Network" If you click on the selection, you will be shown a 1969 ford, but it did not show that on the search function. We will keep you posted on our attempts to straighten out the descriptions that are shown. ********************************************************************** In the year of 2000 The Racers Network was visited by over 1,370,000 "unique" visitors, and produced in excess of 13,401,000 hits.
