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.

Obviously successful is a relative term, but I would define a new
UI technology a success if they could reach the same simplicity
and efficiency that we have with 5250 applications.
Well, if you want the same simplicity and efficiency as 5250, then you might as well use 5250 ... but I kind-of get your drift, which was underscored when I tried SugarCRM at the yip link that you referenced in an earlier post. SugarCRM is typical of Web applications, but I found it to be tedious to work with - not something I'd like to be subjected to on a daily basis.
From a user perspective, a browser UI can actually be more efficient than 5250 ... sometimes. Post a form submit using AJAX, where the only response returned from the server is a completion message - perhaps 60 bytes. Over a LAN, the response completes and the message is shown in about 2 milliseconds. Granted, that most Web applications are not designed that way, but it is possible.
