Steel Guitar Search Engine

Enter a few keywords to search our sites and find what you are looking for, or read our search tips to make advanced or more precise queries.

Search Rules This search engine helps you find documents on our websites, steelguitar.com and steelguitarinfo.com. Here's how it works: you tell the search engine what you're looking for by typing in keywords, phrases, or questions in the search box. The search engine responds by giving you a list of all the Web pages in our index relating to those topics. The most relevant content will appear at the top of your results. How To Use: Type your keywords in the search box. Press the Search button to start your search. Here's an example: Type Goodrich L10K Volume Pedal in the search box. Press the Search button or press the Enter key. The Results page will show you numerous pages on our websites about the Goodrich L10K Volume Pedal. Tip: Don't worry if you find a large number of results. In fact, use more than a couple of words when searching. Even though the number of results will be large, the most relevant content will always appear at the top of the result pages.

Simple Tips for More Exact Searches Fancy Features for Typical Searches

What is an Index? Webster's dictionary describes an "index" as a sequential arrangement of material. Our index is a large, growing, organized collection of Web pages from steelguitar.com and steelguitarinfo.com. The 'index' is updated on an ongoing basis. When you use our Steel Guitar Search Engine, you search our entire collection of web pages using keywords or phrases.

What is a word? When searching, think of a word as a combination of letters and numbers. The search service needs to know how to separate words and numbers to find exactly what you want on the Internet. You can separate words using white space and tabs.

What is a phrase? You can link words and numbers together into phrases if you want specific words or numbers to appear together in your result pages. If you want to find an exact phrase, use "double quotation marks" around the phrase when you enter words in the search box. Example #1: To find volume pedals by Goodrich type "Goodrich Volume Pedals" in the search box. You can also create phrases using punctuation or special characters such as dashes, underscore lines, commas, slashes, or dots. Example #2: Try searching for L10K-Volume-Pedal instead of L10K Volume Pedal. The dashes link the numbers together as a phrase.

Simple Tips for More Exact Searches All searches are case insensitive and accent insensitive. Searching for "Fur" will match the lowercase "fur", uppercase "FUR", and German "für". Including or excluding words: To make sure that a specific word is always included in your search topic, place the plus (+) symbol before the key word in the search box. To make sure that a specific word is always excluded from your search topic, place a minus (-) sign before the keyword in the search box. Example: To find pages for steel guitars with 2 necks but without pedals, try "steel guitars" +"2 necks" -pedals. Expand your search using wildcards (*): By typing an * at the end of a keyword, you can search for the word with multiple endings. Example: Try steel*, to find steel, steels, steeler, steeling, and steelers.

Fancy Features for Typical Searches You can search more than just text. Here are all of the other ways you can search on the net:
link:address	Finds pages that link to the specified address, or a substring of it. Use link:steelguitar.com to find all pages linking to Carter Steel Guitars' site. Note: this feature is not implemented on all search engines.
text:text	Finds pages that contain the specified text in any part of the page other than an image tag, link, or URL. The search text:tuning would find all pages with the term tuning in them.
title:text	Finds pages that contain the specified word or phrase in the page title (which appears in the title bar of most browsers). The search title:amplifiers would find pages with amplifiers in the title.
url:text	Finds pages with a specific word or phrase in the URL. Use url:steelguitarinfo to find all pages on all servers that have the word steelguitarinfo in the host name, path, or filename - the complete URL, in other words.
