Using
this form you can search the database of registered Merpups. If you
leave all the fields blank, you will get a listing of all of them! The
search algorithm finds those registered pups who meet all
of the criteria you supply. So to find all pups in Florida with a real
name containing "Alice", you would put "Alice" in the Real
name box, select "Florida" in the State/province
box, and "U.S.A." in the country box. (This last is to eliminate any
possible Alices in other countries that just happen to have a state or
province named "FL".)
Fine
print for the adventurous: The search mechanism is written in PERL, and
the contents of the blanks above are actually PERL match patterns. So,
for example:
- Put
a caret in front of the a string to "anchor" it at the left side. Thus
"^Deb" will find people whose name starts with
"Deb" and not those who just have the string "deb" somewhere in the
middle, like "Xena-deb".
- Specify
multiple states for a regional search by using the State/Province
text box and putting in multiple state abbreviations separated by the
vertical bar character. So "NH|VT|ME" would match all pups in New
Hampshire, Vermont, or Maine.
