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.

Ditto, and for us users who type in CBFD to look for Conkers Bad Fur Day and don't get a match, could the webmaster please tweak that one for us?

In your search engine you could add a 'topics' section.

e.g. people who want to search for a guide to Conkers Bad fur Day, type Conkers bad fur day in the search box, then select a catorige which it falls in e.g. guide books. This will improve the chances of people getting what they want out of the search.

Where it says:

Site Search
e.g. Star Trek

next to the search box, why can't that be changed to reflect something more topical, like ZOE, MGS 2, Conker and so forth?
