Hi Mort
I have just published an article titled "Economics and international trade" but i cant get it to come up when i do a search for it and i cant see it when i look in the a-z list. Do you know why this? What can i do to make it more assessable? I would be very grateful if you could reply.

Hi there,

sorry took me so long to get back to you, i got distracted watching 24 on BBC2.
Truthful answer is i cant see any reason at the moment. Even entries in peer review are still available under the search engine.
However - one small thing! you spelled economics as econmics in your title! but even so it still doesnt come up when searching with the title direct.

i will find out and get back to you!

Mort

Hi peter,

i checked with the <./>gurus</.> and they replied...

The database for the search engine is only updated every so often. It means that new entries don't show up in searches for a while (until the next refresh/trawl).

So it should show up soon.

Mort

thank you so much. you have been most helpful, i was never very good at spelling, lol. thankyou for taking the time to help me

Peter Jones

Have just heard from the man at the top as far as these things are concerned that the search engine is updated twice a day, so should be in soon

And you are welcome!



Mort
