I think this is a case of the words "Filter" and "Keys" being used and confused. Let me try and explain, perhaps for the benefit of all, where a "filter" comes in with Internet searching, and give you one or two tips which help searching in Google or such like. If you put a + (plus sign) in front of a word, this indicates that your search MUST include that word. If you put a - (minus sign) in front of a word, this indicates that your search must NOT include that word. So if I enter +King -George it will bring up anything where the word "King" appears, but none of the results will contain "George" Now you may think that if you were to simply enter King George without any signs, it would find all references to my regal namesake. No quite true. You will find that the results could simply include one or the other of the search words, not necessarily both. Consequently, you would get thousands and thousands of results. However, if you enter "King George" inside quotation marks, then you are effectively telling the search process to look for that exact string in your search. So only results which contained "King George" would appear, thus narrowing the search results down. And of course you can use the + (plus) and - (minus) in front of text in quotation marks as well. You will notice that I have not used the word "filter" one in the above, but that is in effect what you are doing when you do what I have described above. You are "filtering" the results of your search.

Re filter keys I think the word filter covers many things. The filter keys you refer to are the ones I got stuck in by mistake and Barry was helping me out of in that Post. The filter keys used on systems by I think a business is different again. Recently for example when messages were both being received by a third party , but also being returned saying they were undelivered. That took a lot of sorting out and at one point Zen asked me to find out if the other party was using "filter keys , we got it all sorted in the end but it was not easy. The other filter then seems to be sorting of files into specific folders so they don't clog your in box. finally I recall having a visit from a lady tutor ,believe it or not I did buy some courses of lessons in the home. Now this lady if looking for something specific on a Website told me she used a Filter key, by which she meant after putting in the Edit box in quotes what she wanted to find she then used the Plus sign she called this plus symbol "a filter key so far I have not heard anyone else tell me this plus filter sign is needed but I can tell you one thing since I recorded her tutorial she could find almost anything with this Plus filter. maybe in later versions of Jaws or Internet Explorer it is not needed This was in 2005 using Jaws 4.51 but I mention it in case it is useful Regards Dorothy ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq]** or send a message, to ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
