Actually, this has nothing to do with the wildcard "*", as this character is ignored by many search engines such as Google. The results would be the same if you use "ist". The main problem is that "ist" is a common word in some foreign language such as German. But the same applies for some other camera names if you just use the camera name by itself, e.g. "Kiss" "Rebel" "Alpha Sweet". -- --Lawrence Kwan--SMS Info Service/Ringtone Convertor--PGP:finger/www-- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.vex.net/~lawrence/ -Key ID:0x6D23F3C4--
