Just Extending the current arrangement, it might be good to have a little table of contents at the top since the page will be getting fairly long. The other option is to have a single text entry with a radio button to select which service to search. Since some services have extra input gadgets, this might not work to well though. In other search news, I have an overhaul of the mailing list/web page search engine about ready to bring over to freefall, pending the installation of perl 5.003 (YO JORDAN!!!!). A number of new fetures will be initially hidden pending further testing with the full dataset. An (untested) feature for searching the web pages that mirror users will like is that the search engine will try and make the links point to the mirror from which the user started the search. Of course, there are other improvements, like showing the page title rather than the url.... -john
