The catalogue search is a completely separate thing to the 8BS website search.
When you initially go to the catalogue page by clicking on the link above, the whole 8BS catalogue will be displayed in one go.
To refine your search, enter a word or phrase into the search box and click 'Submit'.
Search is not case sensitive.
Click on the catalogue number to download that particular disc.
You can see a whole catalogue section by typing something like: tdu-
The search searches on the whole data record, this includes the filename, title, disc format and size and description.
This is an example of the whole record as stored in the catalogue:
pool/8bs/8bs45.ssd 8BS-45 Oct 95 2D 51 409 <and all the text in the description>
Therefore to display/find this record, you can enter any part of the above text.
I would think that the most useful way to use the search is to enter something you think may be in the description, like 'Adventure games' for example.
For more information about the downloads, please see 'Downloads'
