Not quite there, Louie! It’s obviously been diddled with, as it acts better and finds more stuff, but it is not yet reliable. ---

Still no luck here, whether I’m using AOL or Netscape as my browser, it goes to the Wait here for search results & just sits. * * * Sue from El Paso [members.aol.com/majormd/index.html](http://members.aol.com/majormd/index.html) ---

Get the fuck outta here! The search engine works? Supreme. By the way, lose the flaming folders. * * * A seminar on time travel will be held two weeks ago. ---

🆒 Hey, I’m not sure it catches everything, but everything it catches fits the search criteria & you are not sent to Limbo indefinitely! Kudo’s to the engineers of this! Tough choice… working search engine + flaming folders OR no working search engine & no flaming folders. Please don’t make us choose - can we just lose the folders? * * * Sue from El Paso Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted. ---

Cheers to having the search engine actually working now and Jeers to having it have a limit of 200 results. WTF? ---

I think that “The search engine is working!” deserves space on the main message board’s page. At least for a few weeks.
