Tom LaPorte on the Y-IRL List has given me permission to forward the following email for all those having problems with this site. After talking to Terry Eakin again I would say they have put it up far too soon with lots of search problems still to be ironed out. Terry is one of the trial people reporting back to them on the difficulties. But it's a work in progress and can only get better.

I got straight on with the information Tom supplied. Was just about to give up the ghost.
