The search tool is useful for searching inside Find Me Here.com and Site Location Assistance.com, especially for names of contacts, locations and certain resources such as publications. It has pull-down menus for selecting advanced search features. One pull-down gives you the choice of searching case-sensitive. Another offers phrase search. Querying the Global Registry of Contacts, for example, using the settings means you get search results zeroed in on keyword combinations of both upper and lower-case text. Although you do not have to input search terms of complete words, it is recommended that you do so, except when searching for a place of interest. If searching for locations inside the US or Canada, use two-letter abbreviations for states and provinces. For example, use the GRC to search for Atlanta, GA or Halifax, NS (CLICK HERE search Site Location Assistance.com for the Canadian province or for the case-sensitive name of a publication, Nova Scotia, Open to the World). Do not include asterisks or other non-alphanumeric characters in your search
