Your search inside Find Me Here.com where the GRC is housed will be more efficient. You can change the drop-down settings and may want to do so to search, for example, the .network glossary. FMH Search Engine:Don't include quotation marks, asterisks or other non-alpha/numeric characters When using the following search tool (also provided above). If you try to use a logogram, such as the ampersand, it is recommended that you place it at the end of your keyword combination. For example, say that you want to search for resource & service providers rather than resource and service providers. In that case, you simply search for resource & and nothing more. Although its use is discouraged by the example, searching with the ampersand may be necessary when it is part of a name, for example, when searching a contact directory.
