I would add that you need to use proper
boolian cues... the above keywords in parentheses
will elicit results that have those exact  words in that
exact order.. If you were looking for an ASCII pic
of Batman, you would be better off using the
following:  +"ASCII art" +"Batman"  ;or
+"ASCII" +"Batman"

Probably not... search engines vary and
terminology may not be the same (some use
AND instead of +)...  I think that most people
can read the directions found at various
search engines sites...  most net-savvy people
know about search engines... and if they don't,
it isn't alt.ascii-art's job to teach them... (IMO)

(Some example search engine sites..
Yahoo, Hotbot, Excite, Infoseek, Northern
Lights, WhatUSeek, AltaVista, Lycos...
And some meta-search engines sites...
Mamma, Dogpile, AskJeeves, Metacrawler,
GoTo, Snap, Goo, Webcrawler....)

Oh Gosh, there are tons more  of search engines...
and if you don't find what you are looking
for, be sure to check another--  Search engines
only list sites that are registered with them...
They are not created equally.
