You mean the part after I do my search where it says: Refine results for foo: Guide Tickets Changesets Ports Wiki Honestly I hadn't seen that until now. It works fine when I click "Guide". Still I'd rather not search over everything, then have to refine my search. I want the right search from the beginning. I guess I can type "more:guide" into the search box. It would be easier if there were a drop-down menu where I could select how I want to refine the search right at the beginning. _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
