Basically just the articles were indexed. Topics of: Field notes, Pond to Plate, Food Recipes, Editorials, Customers letters, were not indexed. Occasionally a question with a detailed answer from Ask The Boss (Letters & emails) was indexed. A food recipe index may be created later.
The index will often have several listings for the same article such as: bass largemouth; Largemouth Bass; LMB; Fish LM bass harvest; bass thinning; management bass. This may eventually be helpful with some software that is able to search for key words.
