There are a few tricks for effective searches with Google, Yahoo, Ask.com, etc.

To restrict the search results to this site, add -

site:freerepublic.com

- to the search terms.

Also, it helps to use quotation marks around phrases in the search terms, like -

"419 scam"

If one search engine doesn't find the right result, try another one. The Yahoo search engine found the article you were looking for. Google didn't have it.

Yahoo?!

I used the terms as you said with exception to "419 scam". I didn't put them together as one search term.

Thanks , that must have made the difference.
