Hi Dan,

Well I find the google search feature much less useful than the previous
search mechanism.  I just now did a search for disk and it didn't find
anything.  Even when it did work in the past, it couldn't sort matches
by date, restrict searches to a particular list, or conveniently handle
matching multiple keywords requiring a match all specification.

It probably would be a good idea also to be able to access the search
function from the main lists.terrasoftsolutions.com page.
