On the find a tip page, you'll find a search bar prompting you to enter some keywords. Clicking inside the search bar will let you type any search words you want, just as though you were using the popular yahoo! or google search tools you're probably used to.

For example, if you want to find untape tips related to schools, you might type 'school' into the search bar and press enter. After a few seconds you'll see all the tips that mention the word 'school' on the entire untape site. If you want to find something more specific, like tips about high school or school districts, refine your search by typing 'high school' or 'school district'.

If you're having trouble getting the right results, try refining your search by adding, removing, or changing some of your keywords. With any luck, you'll find what you're looking for.
