Hi Doug, You can checkout this other webtrees-based website that boasts a pretty large DB: http://www.myarnolds.com/
They have 110.000 individuals, and the search seems pretty standard for a website. Then again, the genealogy program is just a tool. You're the artesan, so just use the tools you feel are best. Even if everyone else prefers something else. In my case I wanted something web-based, but I want complete control of the database. Something like having my private Ancestry.com website. And that's more or less what I have with webtrees. The problem of moving between different programs is indeed the lack of a proper GEDCOM that fits the needs of the individual genealogists. The current GEDCOM standard (5.5) was created by FamilySearch 18 years ago. There's talk of designing a 'Better GEDCOM', but I don't see a lot of enthusiasm there. Until something better comes along, you'll always face data loss when exporting and importing through GEDCOM.
