Keyword Searches

At left are some general keywords used by the search function to lead you to related articles.  The actual word may not appear in the article, but it will direct you to articles related to the topic.  For instance, if an article on potatoes did not have the word "agriculture" or "economy" in it, those keywords would lead you to it anyway.

In addition, feel free to search on any other words of interest.  Specific names of cities, towns, places, individuals, or events will usually yield results.  Use the singular to insure returning the plural version as well.

The phrase "Penobscot County" will return all cities, towns, and plantations in that county in addition to other related articles.  The phrase "Benton and town" [do not include quotes] will return the town of Benton, while "Benton" alone may return a large number of articles.

The word "historic" alone will return many articles, including every town with a historic site listed.  However the phrase "historic and fort" [do not include quotes] will return only references to historic forts.

Finally the phrase "lighthouse or fort" [do not include quotes] will return any article with "lighthouse" or "fort" in it, so you get all lighthouses and all forts.
