    Next time you find something strap a bell to it, that way you'll be able to track it next time you need it.

    I can always find stuff never ever after five goes.

    I find the elusive search facility works at least as well as the old one some of the time all of the time. I find 90% of the stuff I look for 10% of the time.

    Some parts of the site are opted out of the search, like PI/parenting/lgbt ect.

    It's shít. The old one was far better. I only ever used it to see if anyone had quoted me, can't seem to find how to do that on this one.
