fine. Please post officially so I can close out and you can get paid.
Thanks.
In searching for a new job, I often need to find the name of the
person in Charge of Marketing. For this task, I use Google Advanced
search, plug in the title and name of web site. Sometimes it works and
sometimes it doesn't. My question is: Is there a better way to get
this information online and why would a name not appear when you know
it's there? Example: I was on the sharpsec.com site and saw a person's
name in a press release (robert pleyer) . But when I did a test to
search for his name, it came up with no results.

I see that you want to enter
'"Director of Marketing" site:www.sharp-usa.com' 
and find Robert Pleyer. Well, first of all, he's 
also known as 'product marketing manager': 
http://www.sharp-usa.com/products/FunctionPressReleaseSingle/0,1080,194-14,00.html
...so you'd have to enter that exact phrase: 
"product marketing manager" site:www.sharp-usa.com 
which worked fine for me: 
://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=%22product+marketing+manager%22+www.sharp-usa.com
 
If you enter '"Director of Marketing" site:www.sharp-usa.com', 
you'll see a number of associate directors of marketing, 
none of whom is Robert Pleyer: 
://www.google.com/search?num=50&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=%22Director+of+Marketing%22+site%3Awww.sharp-usa.com
 
www.sharpsec.com produces no results, so I'd stick with 
www.sharp-usa.com. 

An alternative, but not neccesarily better method, 
as it's less precise, is to input the title and the name 
of the company, as in: 
 
"director of marketing" + "sharp electronics" 
 
which produces this page: 
 
://www.google.com/search?num=50&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=%22director+of+marketing%22+%2B+%22sharp+electronics%22
 
This brings up results similar to entering the title 
and the website, as in: 
 
[ "Director of Marketing" site:www.sharp-usa.com ] 
 
...in that it yields the same listings for 'associate 
director of marketing'. However, this alternative 
is less precise, producing 323 hits, many of which 
are irrelevant, vs 13 hits using the website search. 
 
That's the best alternative I know, however.

I very much appreciate your reposting the question
and allowing me to answer it.

My question had two parts. For part one they were able to find another
site that had the information I needed. For part two, they didn't
really have any other suggestions, however, I wasn't sure any existed,
so they were able to confirm that my method of search was a good one.
I am satisfied with my answer.
Thanks Sublime1
