Dan,

I have to disagree. When the questioning of the use of 'criteria' was raised I assumed it to be a tongue-in-cheek, Fridayism because there were so many negatives in the sentence I had to read it a couple of times to get it.

I can go one word better than Dick. Delete 'Un' and 'not' and get the programers to change the default state to false rather than true (unchecked, not checked).

Happy weekend,
Ant

"...To disable searching for a particular criteria, uncheck the corresponding check box..."


... "Uncheck items not relevant to your search." Seven words instead of twelve. That was just off the top of my head; I'm sure others can whittle it down more.
