I can’t see any way on the Front Page to search, or even browse, Staff Reports. How do I do this?

Staff Reports aren’t separated from columns any more, so you just search on the Home Page for keywords or phrases and you get whatever comes up, whether Staff Reports or Columns. (For those of you who are new, the old format made you choose whether to search Recent Columns, Older Columns, or Staff Reports.)

Browsing Staff Reports or Columns doesn’t seem to be possible, which is a shame.

I think it’s less than ideal, but it’s the way it is for now.
