This is a sensational search facility.

But what I don't think that Mad@Max has told everyone is that you can also use * ? AND NOT OR w/n as part of your search terms.

And it's very very fast.

Why do we have to find this out for ourselves??? Is Mad@Max a self-effacing coder or is he really just mad?

Brilliant mod. Worked straight off on 4.06.

Thank you very much. MOTM

#lsa_cont {
z-index: 100;
}

Best regards

Yes, I've noticed it and it does look odd ...

Now, I hope I can follow your instructions and not blow up anything else to fix it ...

Thanks for posting ...

Edit: I couldn't find ..
