Great. Everyone that had problems before has contacted me to say it's
working OK, now.

I suspect you have the "And" button selected in the "When Searching"
section. Try selecting the "Or" button, instead. 20 records match when the
General category is selected and the word "plot" is entered on the
Question line, with "Or" selected in When Searching.
Keywords are expected in the text entry fields. Every word in the Question
and Answer sections is indexed, so you can put any keyword you'd like in
the text entry sections. You can leave any of the sections blank as a
"Select All" meaning. In other words, "No Selection" under Categories
means you don't want to narrow down the results. No text on the Question
and Answer text entry lines also means you don't want to narrow down the
results. If you just select "I/O" from the Categories for instance, and
leave the Question [and Answer] areas empty, you'll get all five records
in the I/O section listed. If you just enter the keyword "plot" on the
Question line, with Categories set to "No Selection", you'll get two
results back that have the word "plot" in the question. Entering "plot" in
the Answers section only, gives you 10 results.

Thanks. Please let me know if I can help clear this up any better.

Hi Mike,
This works! I now have trouble getting information. The "Find all records"
button works ok. However, when I click on a category and a question (I am not
sure of the format the question should have, keyword? sentence?), nothing is
found. I tried various keywords (General category, question about: plot) but
still nothing was found. Am I doing this wrong?
Otherwise, the look of the FAQ is nice.
