>PRESENTATION SUMMARY:
>***************************
>For 4.5 years I have attended every KLUG presentation and
>written the weekly KLUG Meeting Notes to summarize what was
>presented.  Tonight the presenter was oddly familiar.  This
>was my first KLUG presentation.  Using the KLUG LTSP client
>powered by Red Hat running the gedit text editor and the 
>Mozilla browser, we got down into the details of search 
>engines... specifically Google!
>TABLE OF MEME CONTENTS - 
>I.   GOOGLISMS: 
>II.  GOOGLE PHONE DIRECTORY USE: 
>III. MISCELLANEOUS GOOGLE TIPS & TRICKS: 

Does the link: command only let you specify the last bit (domain 
portion) of the link?

For example, if I try -
link: ftp://ftp.kalamazoolinux.org/pub/pdf/ldapv3.pdf

I get 'nada.

But if I try -
link: kalamazoolinux.org

Then I get stuff.

Am I doing something wrong or is this how it works?
