This search engine performs simple searches through the Classical Midi Archives to locate the page(s) containing a given text. It will return all the pages (if any) -- in no particular order -- which do contain at least one occurence of the given text, or combination of terms.

It is particularly useful if you know the title of a piece but forgot who composed it. For example if you didn't remember who wrote "The Trout" (Schubert), simply enter "trout" in the Search Engine and it will point you to Schubert's page. Once there (just click on the link), activate your browser's FIND button and enter "trout" again. This time, the browser should bring you right to the actual piece so you can listen to it.

To enter several terms (for example "Military March") enter "military march". Use only one space between each term. Do not enter "AND" (or anything else) between the terms. (The "AND/OR" is automatically used by the engine.) At this time, it is not possible to mix boolean operators or to group terms within parentheses.

Another example: You're looking for "Rhapsody in Blue". Enter "rhapsody blue". This will return a link to "Classical MIDI Archives: F-M." Click on the link and then click your browser's FIND button and enter, say, "rhaps". Your browser will then jump to Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue.

Note that the search is successful even if a match is found within a greater string in the Archives. For example, if you search for "bald", the pages containing "Archibald" as well as "bald" will be returned in the results.

The search is done on the full contents of the pages for all the given terms. This means that if you do a search for, say, "night" (AND) "bald" (AND) "mountain", a page containing "Night on Bald Mountain" will be returned as well as a page containing (on separate lines) "night", "Archibald", and "mountaineer."

I hope to be able to provide, in the future, for a more intelligent search engine.
This is only the first step!
