Agreed! it is amazing magic! :-D Those string replacings are amazing
inventions! ;-D

You can limit the search, but that little details will become one of my
favourite pet peeves because of this:
You can setup on that InfoCentre your search scope where you can 'pre-select'
your bookshelves or 'scopes' to do you searches/browsing - one catch, your
actions is remembered in a tasteless 'cookie' only on that PC/Laptop... :-(
Another problem is while you select your 'scope', you will have to wait for
every elements to be downloaded before an element on the page(s) is useable
(clickable).
Now if the internet is down or time-out..... don't get me started...
I like to have Bookie on my laptop, on shared network drives (not one of
course)!, on z/OS and perhaps also on IBM's InfoCentre.
Ok, enough ranting! ;-)
