Hi Ted,

I'm developing a great habit of breaking PH.

The forum search facilty appears to have developed an ASP error. Wot no regression testing?

Nonetheless, it shouldn't generate an error.. it used to give a message saying you'd forgotten to select a forum.. obviously the trapping's not working anymore..

This brings me to the matter of the overall state of health of the search function.. I really don't have much faith in it. Or perhaps Ted needs to clarify the syntax for complex queries because during searches, I frequently fail to find comments I bloody well know someone made previously.. and when I eventually find the thread by some twisting and turning, the phrase I originally searched on is in there!
