SEARCH

The search is by two major classifications:

1. Organization (AA, Al-anon, NA, ...) and
2. Sex (Male, Female, Both - Couples or Panels)

• Story: The speaker's own story of experience, strength and home
• Workshop: A presentation on a topic like The Big Book, Emotional Sobriety, Traditions, Relationships, Service, ...
• Steps: A specific type of workshop or presentation focusing on the 12 steps
• Traditions: A specific type of workshop or presentation focusing on the 12 traditions

• Author: The speaker wrote some work considered part of the literature of recovery
• Day Since Added: Helps find the newest recordings within a selection sorted by date descending

Keyword Search: This is a simple search across multiple fields in the database for one or more Words or Phrases containing the keyword.

It is not yet able to handle complex searches.

Also, it does not distinguish yet between HTML formatting commands (line breaks, bold text, etc) and real content. So it can produce some odd results. Treat it like a new-comer - Keep it simple and it will find meaning. Make it complex and it will find nothing.

EVENT GROUP

This button shows at the bottom of some Detail pages.

If a talk is part of an Event Group, this will show a list of those talks on a new index page.

An Event Group is a way to list talks together that happened at the same Event and group them by the Year of the Event.

A Roundup, Conference or Convention is an Event as are some Monthly Speaker Meetings for heaily represented meetings (e.g. Breakfast Club).

Some talks are NOT flagged as part of an Event and thus will NOT show an Event Group button
