Help for searching with SpiderMonkey Remember to select an index (top right)
    

Type the word or phrase you seek into the text-entry box. Select (all) or (any) terms and choose a search category (index) or search them all (Global). To search this site the category is (Mouse House).
When searching
, think of a word as a combination of letters and numbers. You can tell SpiderMonkey how to distinguish words and numbers you want treated differently.

If you want to find an exact phrase or full name use " quotation marks" around the phrase when you enter words in the search box. This tells SpiderMonkey to match your word pattern exactly and search for your phrase set out in quotation marks.
You can ban words using (not) or you can indicate must-have words with (and).
Excluding words. If you want to search for a word or phrase but want SpiderMonkey to exclude pages having certain words, simply type: "keyword and keyword not word". Below are some more examples.

Doing Boolean Searches With SpiderMonkey

using and, or
 EXAMPLE: Micheal or Michael and mike
using and, or, not
 EXAMPLE: Micheal or Michael and mike not mikey
using and, or, not with "phrases"
EXAMPLE: Micheal and Michael or mike not "mike smith"
EXAMPLE: mp3 or midi and music and free not "wav files"
EXAMPLE: mp3s or mp3 or midi and "free music" not "wav files"

using and, or, not with "phrases" and *
EXAMPLE: Micheal and Michael or mike not "mike* plumb*" 

(Translation: search for Micheal spelled either way, or spelled as Mike but don't include {Mike, Mike's,  or Mike y's Plumb ing, or Plumb er } )

NOTE: If you choose to use "+" or "-" instead of "and" or "not" then the symbol must have no space between it and the word. 
EXAMPLE
:
toast +jam -butter = toast and jam not butter. (butter becomes an exclude word)
