The SEARCH will search back only a little ways, but then you

can have it search the next " little ways " by pressing NEXT.

NEXT seems like a really weird word to use for going farther back

into the past, but that is what it does.

You can do this even if your " first " search found nothing. On the

" results " page where it shows nothing was found, press NEXT and

it will search a bit farther back in time.

You can do this repeatedly, even if there are no matches, it is

still " moving backward in time " in searching.

It is a bit tedious compared to the old way!

p.s. I just tried searching on " turning lead into gold " and I get

some matches in each of the " periods of time " . It must be mentioned

in the FAQ, as several instances of the FAQ file show up in the

" results " of the search.
