Hello Andrew (and Escamillo),

Andrew-I'm not sure which search you're asking about. You may just want some tips on searching. Here's the Bare Bones Search Tutorial. The tips here apply to most search engines, but for you favorite one you should read their help page.

The MIDI Search Engine finds MIDIs when you type in the name of the song you're looking for. In #4 above, I was thinking about AltaVista or FastSearch (there are tons of search engines) because they seem to find more stuff although sometimes you get a lot of junk. Just take a guess at what you think the name of the MIDI would be, and type "link:nameofmidi.mid" in the search box. (without the quotes). You can use this trick to see who has linked to your favorite pages also. Just type "link:URLoffavoritepage" etc.

Escamillo-to embed a MIDI file I use this code:
(left arrow)BGSOUND SRC="nameofmidi.mid"(right arrow)
(left arrow) This used to take care of both Explorer and Navigator but may be a little dated now. Just View/Source your favorite page and copy the code.

Good luck.
