Bob,
I limit my
searches by adding a "-" and then listing the items I do not want to see. For
example, my search for 56, 57, 58, 59, 60 and 61 Chryslers will come up,
however, it will not show any items with "buck", "topaz", "kit" and "intake".
You could limit it much more by using the "-" and adding wheels, headers,
pictures, etc.
Here is my
listing limitations:
Chrysler
(1956, 56, '56, 1957,57,'57, 58, 1958, 59, 1959, 60, 1960, 61, 1961) -buck
-topaz -kit -intake

the forwardlook
site has some pre-formatted searches built with direct
links from there.
Might be worth exploring how they segmentize those
searches.
