Unfortunately, the search fields no longer display at all in Netscape on my machine (Netscape V4.75 on Win 98 SE). The frame is there, I can right-click and view frame source or frame info, but it displays as blank. Can't even see the line that separates the input fields from the results. Everything looks and works fine under MSIE 5.00. I'll try it at work tomorrow (Netscape 4.something under Win 2000 Pro) and report how it looks.

I tested some searches with a combination of venue/year and some others with a combination of state/year. These seem to work just fine. However, when I try a combination of song anywhere/year, I get weird results. More records are returned than should be. At first, I thought the search engine was performing a boolean or on the two conditions instead of an and, but this doesn't describe the behavior either. For example, try searching for song anywhere=Liberty and year=1973. Result should obviously be zero shows, but I get a (seemingly random) selection of nine *1993* shows that have Liberty in them. Maybe it's just something screwy in the data, but I don't see the text 1973 anywhere in those results. One more thing: The bottom two search fields are slightly cut off on my screen (in both Netscape and MSIE). This is almost certainly due to the fact that I use the Large Fonts display setting. Increasing the size of this area by about half the width of one of the entry ports would solve the problem. I can send a screen shot off list if you'd like. Thanks again to Kevin and everybody else involved for their efforts on this!

Re: New Site
Another way to implement what David is looking for would be just to add a Year field to the existing search page. This would be nice for locating all the '73 shows where Eyes of the World was played, for example, or to do the type of search that David asked for. The overall look and feel of the site is excellent. Very clean and functional, but pleasing to the eye at the same time. Very nice. Thanks to all involved for their work in finally bringing us a searchable database! Greg Hurwitt At 05:55 AM 05/10/02 -0700, you wrote: From: David A.

Since your asking for suggestions, is it possible to add the ability to use a search phrase on the main page after you select the year? I'll often select a year, then use ctrl-F to search for a city, venue or song. Clearly one can do this through the search page, but for simple searches within a year (say you have the city but not the exact date) could be convenient.

Re: New Site
I was balked when I tried to access via lynx. Can this be fixed?
