What do the color of the search pattern lines represent?

I did a few searches for this information and struck out. Any help would be appreciated.

Blue is morning (AM) search arcs, green PM search.

Page 151 of the manual explains how available aircraft are distributed across 10 degree search arcs, if set.

There is a document named "Interface Addendum" in the manuals sub folder. It is dated 24-11-2009 (or mine is). The information is in page 2.

quote:

2.2.1 Naval Search arcs are displayed as a darker blue and darker green. The blue arc is
the morning search area and the afternoon search area is in green.

2.2.2 ASW arcs are half the range of Naval Search arcs and are displayed in light blue and
light green.

What that doesn't tell you is what a black arc is.

You are not very good at using the search engine.

You need to work on that.
