          The first search was my control search. I set parameters that I knew would yield a nil result in order to rest for bugged responses.

          The second was a search I knew would be successful in a big way in order to test capacity parameters.

          See? Logical and methodical testing. Aren't I lovely?

              Anything turning up on the first search would have been an unexpected but welcome surprise.

                    Not bad, but I'd love it if the word you searched for would get highlighted, much like when you use the post search function.

                      eeeer, it DOES get highlighted(with a grey background) when you search in the news content. not in any every single match, but in most of them.

                        Well, I'd like to see the news use colorshemes, so that quotes and links show up with a color, which is correct for the background of the current page... and then grive the sectionarchives the colors of the sections...

                          More, I want more!

                          Its brilliant. I'm mentioned in three newsitems

                          edit: a search for MarkG brings up loads of results, as you would expect, but not all of them have MarkG in them

                            Maybe you should try to search for me...

                            About the highlight: It doesn't hilight words followed directly by ',' as in Gramphos, our recently-added-to-the-team Civ3 Files Manager
