>Incidentally it's remarkable how many word lovers don't use and aren't familiar with Advanced Search.
on what do you base this assumption?

"Advanced Search"
I don't use anything else.

I found this site for slang while trying out Dale's trick. The site looks very intensive. http://www.slangsite.com/slang/G.html

Dale, it didn't work. I didn't get a drop-down arrow the next time I logged into search.
I tried looking up a word, then finding the page pointed to. Then I re-opened Google search and there was no drop-down.
Is there a step I am missing?

I think Dale means that the Auto-complete feature of your browser will remember it for you.

Ah. I see. Well, I went into the tools option to try to find the Auto-complete feature and I saw the "forms" was not ticked but two other fields were ticked on.
I did not set up my system. Is there a particular reason that the "forms" should not be ticked on?

bel: You have to give it a hint by typing the initial letter or two into the box, as I believe Myr is saying
I didn't have to screw with my browser but it might be that you lack a crucial algorithm or aren't using Outlook

I clicked the "forms" box in auto-complete and tried again. It worked as soon as I typed in the first couple of letters. That's very interesting.
Thanks all. I've decided to become a little more computer-savvy so I like appreciate these types of tips.

tsu: This assumption is based on the testimony of many word-savvy Googlers; Fiend is a rare exception
Like him I seldom use the homepage except when I have no conditions to attach
