Brian's WWW Concern

Brian's concern about finding only 4 useful WWW sites under the keyword
"microtonality" strikes me as having a couple of useful lessons:
1. When you set up a web page, be sure to cross-index by as large a variety of
keywords as possible.
2. When you do keyword searches, use a lot of related words. In this case,
stopping with "microtonality" alone, the fact that he didn't find much
doesn't particularly surprise me. He should use words like "microtone",
"microtonal", "meantone", "quartertone", "comma", "Partch", "intonation",
"tuning", "scale", "scales", "cent" (that of course will net a lot more
spam than fish), and such words.
