I wish I had such luck with the search function. I usually know what to search for (I realize, this is neither grep nor winGrep, so I keep it fairly simple) and I often end up extremely frustrated. Especially in books. I have turned up blank looking for such things as "silvan". I can't imagine that there are no instances of "silvan" in the entire books section; in fact, I know there are; I can remember the sentence it was used in. But the search engine came up blank on that one, for me. I don't know if it just times out or what. But I've given up more than once.

(EDIT) Gee. I didn't know there were 2500 posts, and I've been in and out of these forums quite a bit.

EDIT: Today the search engine seems to be working just fine.
