Plant Files Question?

If I search for Kidney Bean from the front page even useing quotes I get results from every plant file that has the word kidney or bean.

If I use the advance search and limit to the vegetable classification there are still 757 results.

Would it be possible to do a "search within results" on the results page? That way when I only had the beans deemed to be vegetable I could farther narrow to results containing the word Kidney or Snap or Lima.

There may be an easy way to do this allready that I have missed, if so I am sorry but please enlighten me.

Thank you - Dyson

Well, I searched for Kidney Bean (no quotes) as the common name as follows: http://davesgarden.com/pf/adv_search.php?searcher%5Bcommon%5D=Kidney+Bean&searcher%5Bfamily%5D=&searcher%5Bgenus%5D=&searcher%5Bspecies%5D=&searcher%5Bcultivar%5D=&searcher%5Bhybridizer%5D=&search_prefs%5Bsort_by%5D=rating&images_prefs=both&Search=Search

and got 19 results with "kidney bean" as all or part of the common name - they all appear to be legumes.

Were you maybe trying the generalized search? That can be good if you don't know if the name you're searching is the common or botanical name - but beyond that, the results are wayyyy too broad for most of my searches.
