The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

I agree with Vern. I dislike bottom posting [quoted text above
reply].
I, on the other hand, prefer bottom posting. But that's because a high
percentage of posts I read I find via Google as opposed to an email feed, so
I likely didn't just read the previous post. I find it a lot easier to be
able to read a response in context by going top to bottom.
That's much like the point I tried to make. Reading posts as they
arrive in e-mail or through news is only part of it all. It can be
very different when searching Midrange archives or reviewing Google
(or other) archives.
With all due respect to Chuck (a LOT of respect), I suspect that he
has less need for searching archives than some of the rest of us.
Unfortunately for me, I often look through old stuff trying to find
some tidbit that I barely remember seeing someone mention. Often,
the results pages have dozens of hits that are worthless simply
because of the untrimmed baggage.
When you have little need for searching, you have little need to
care. But if I see my time taken up when I do it, I try to remember
that others can have the same troubles.
