This one closes on April 1st, but it's not an April fool.

Over the coming weeks we are upgrading our search engine. It's having a triple destructurisation operation and invisible lurking terms enhancements.

The prize will go to the person who finds the MOST VALID PROBLEMS across our WHOLE PRODUCT RANGE in the SEARCH FACILITY.

If you think you should be able to search on "Horror Movies", but nothing comes up, then add it to your list.

If you think people will mis-spell gran turismo, then add that too - but test it first.

Use short lists if possible but multiple posts will count together. i.e. all your posts on this subject will add up and count towards the prize.

Closes 9 am on April 1st, 2001.

I recommend you read the details of our searching process which you can click to from a link at Site Map. Basically we use the start of a word, so a search on "thunder" will find "thunderball". If several words are combined it must find all.

Just a last pointer a lot of the product names don't register, if you put in 'MS Optical Mouse' (Say that was the official name) it wouldn't return any results, I definitely thing that maybe you need a new kind of search engine.

GCube etc don't work aswell, as pointed out earlier in the month...(:D) I think that if you listed all the official product names and SR abbreviations you wouldn't go far wrong.

Spelling mistakes aren't such a big deal although they need to be taken into consideration.

No, I just edited the real search item with the word 'hackpass', I don't want Everyone knowing my secrets, do I?

But when I got to Grix's site, I had a look at the pages he'd built so far, took a quick look at the coding and whatnot, and decided that perfection was best left alone.
:-)

I wonder if Grix has changed his Geocities password yet though?

If you hold any old games why not call them retro games in the search?
