I know that's a pretty obvious statement, but i just had to say it cause I'm lovin it so much!

its ok for my uses. some improvements could be made, such as use of logical AND, OR, and NOT, grouping with parentheses, and use of quote marks for search phrases . Also saving the last search in a cookie so that will be there the next time you pull up your browser.

DONNY: Thanks a lot - can't hear that enough with all the work we have put into it!

fkalich: Thanks for the suggestion, we have some upcoming upgrades to it - with advanced filter possibilities. If more control still is required after that, we would be happy to consider your suggestions!

if you ever want to use a happy face that is flipping me off, feel free, I won't be offended.

btw, while on that subject, I would suggest providing a whole lot more emoticons, if possible. They are pretty good at getting a point across, without getting anyone mad. You know, vomiting, drinking, crack pipe smoking happy faces, things like that. dancing bananas. the one where you have 6 emoticons holding up placards saying "This Thread Is Worthless Without Pictures". I like that. Or the happy face waving a German Flag, which means "old news", as in, "Germans bombed Pearl Harbor". Don't ask me where that came from, I have no idea.
Well let me look it up...ok, comes from "Animal House", quote of Bluto. Now we know.

Anyway, having a whole slug of those is great.

Could it perhaps be related to spelling? We will start pretty soon to give spelling suggestions (like Google does).
