yep, John, I saw something about that new trick.....I suppose that in some stereotyped searches, this new trick WILL give a few folks what they want. (i.e., searches for latest pop music)...but I almost never get 'exactly' what I want without the 'advanced' search page or scanning thru dozens of hits. In fact, the one thing I most decry is the loss of the ability to make word CASE a search criteria! Awhile back you could still do that in AltaVista, but the majors seem to have decided that no one uses CAPS anymore anyway!
