No doubt, I am overlooking the obvious. Is the GW organized? It seems to be just a bucket. Is there a way to search it other than by a word search using Windows F2 (for us pc folk)? Thanks

Are you asking about searching only the Helpline, which is a subset of the Graffiti Wall? Or are you asking about searching the Graffiti Wall?

Thanks I'd like to search the GW but not the HL or anything else.

I think your original post is correct, it's just a bucket that is not discretely searchable. I've experimented with various domain searches but they all turn up Helpline results, in addition to GW results. That is, the Advanced Google Search search instruction, in the stickie, turns up everything in the domain "www.ricksteves.com/graffiti/", which includes the Helpline.

Yeah me too. I was noodling with advanced search but I could not find a way to filter out HL. Which means that HL and GW are together just one bucket. This is not the end of the world but it was worth a shot. Thanks again. If the webmaster reads this then the question is why is there a GF? Its only organizing protocol is posting date but the functionality of that is minimal. For search purposes it is the same bucket as HL so the only possible search domain searches that entire bucket and there is no way to find anything in GW other than by searching the entire bucket (Hl + GW). Why not just do away with GW? That way I would see in HL a hotel reccomendation OP even though it is not in the HL required question format. One stop shopping.
