As already stated, certainly faster than what you're using now.

I would like to see the date on the result. I know, it's in the http://
line, but the current format is easier for a sight impaired lug, such as I,
to read and find.

I would dearly love to be able to do an *And* search where multiple elements
need to be in the result; sort of a way to limit the results. But if I type
"QSERVER QSNADS" (with the quotes) the fields must be adjacent; without the
quotes the keywords may be anywhere, or only one of the keywords may be
there. I tried the extended (advanced) function, but maybe I just couldn't
figure it out, because I always got an *OR* result (again, without the
quotes).

I just noticed that the current search returned 333 matches for qsnads while
the beta search says it found 734 results. Now that's interesting.

All in all, it's preferable to what we have now.

Thanks.
