| I've been trying to do research on pears. Some time ago I wrote down some notes regarding a member that said Abete Fetel, Belle D Guigno, and Fondante de Moulle were favorites. I have tried every variation of the names: Abbe Fetel, Abbe Fetal, Abate Fetel, Bella di Giugno, Bella de Guigno, Fondante de Moulins Lille, and have had no luck.
I KNOW there are posts regarding these varieties. I also was trying to learn something about Asian pears and whether they would grow in Colorado. I found very little. It seems that the older posts have been deleted. Anyone else having the same issues? |

| >>Anyone else having the same issues? << Yes. The search engine is terrible, always has been, I'm sorry to say. :-(M |

| It's usually a better idea to go to Google and limit the search to Gardenweb.com. For example, the following returns several candidates. site:gardenweb.com Fetel Bella Fondante Lille |

| Bob, You are genius. I have tried Google before and put Gardenweb in the search, but not "site:gardenweb.com..." It worked like a charm and I found the post I was looking for. Thank you! |
