Tampa Tribune: Short List: Favorite old-school ice cream shops

"Welcome to The Short List, where each week we pick a topic and share our favorite things about the Tampa Bay area. This week we're screaming for some ice cream, and we're not picky. We can't keep up with all the frozen yogurt shops popping up around the Bay area, but we know exactly where to head for a cone, cup, soft-serve, scoop, sundae, shake - anything that will provide some cooling relief as temperatures prematurely hover near the mid-90s. With the kids out of school and summer upon us, we're heading out to our favorite old-school ice cream shops. Nothing fancy here; we just want to step out of our car, walk a few feet to the window, and place our order. Malted, anyone?

Dairy Joy: 3813 S. Manhattan Ave., Tampa. Simple and quaint, this walk-up shop offers soft-serve vanilla, chocolate or the classic twist in a cone. You also can gussy up your dessert with sundae toppings, have a milk shake or even chow on a hog dog. But whether you drop by after work or school or are beckoned in the evening by the soft glow of its sign, the true lure of Dairy Joy is nostalgia. Open since 1959, the pace of life seems to slow here, especially on a hot summer night with a cool treat while sitting in an open tailgate.

Advanced search:

Non Advanced Search or Natural Search

The documents are returned sorted on relevance depending on order, proximity, frequency of terms.

Advanced Search or Boolean Search

Default search behavior

By default, all search terms are optional. It behaves like an OR logic. Objects that contain the more terms are rated higher in the results and will appear first in their type. For example, wiki forum will find:

objects that include both terms
objects that include the term wiki
objects that include the term forum

Requiring terms

Add a plus sign ( + ) before a term to indicate that the term must appear in results. Example: +wiki forum will find objects containing at least wiki. Objects with both terms and many occurences of the terms will appear first.

Excluding terms

Add a minus sign ( - ) before a term to indicate that the term must not appear in the results. To reduce a term's value without completely excluding it, use a tilde. Example: -wiki forum will find objects that do not contain wiki but contain forum

Grouping terms

Use parenthesis ( ) to group terms into subexpressions. Example: +wiki +(forum blog) will find objects that contain wiki and forum or that contain wiki and blog in any order.

Finding phrases

Use double quotes ( " " ) around a phrase to find terms in the exact order, exactly as typed. Example: "Alex Bell" will not find Bell Alex or Alex G. Bell.

Using wildcards

Add an asterisk ( * ) after a term to find objects that include the root word. For example, run* will find:

objects that include the term run
objects that include the term runner
objects that include the term running

Reducing a term's value

Add a tilde ( ~ ) before a term to reduce its value indicate to the ranking of the results. Objects that contain the term will appear lower than other objects (unlike the minus sign which will completely exclude a term). Example: +wiki ~forum will rate an object with only wiki higher that an object with wiki and forum.

Changing relevance value

Add a less than ( < ) or greater than ( > ) sign before a term to change the term's contribution to the overall relevance value assigned to a object. Example: +wiki +(>forum < blog) will find objects that contain wiki and forum or wiki and blog in any order. wiki forum will be rated higher.
