The search page doesn't say this; John Q. Public Searcher doesn't know this; so he tries a search and it doesn't return a result. Naturally he interprets this to mean that search is claiming it isn't in there. He hunts it up alphabetically in the listing, and says "hey, it was here all along, but search made the claim that it wasn't. Search must be broken." And it is broken, by a meaningful definition of broken. -epkat On 4/26/06, Robin Lee Powell wrote: > Erm. It works just fine.
