I noticed the same thing about the number of digits, but I thought that last year's PGC also had over 1,000,000 galaxies. I still had the old PGC installation file, so I uninstalled the 2006 version and reinstalled the 2005 version. Yes, there are more than 1 million glaxies, and yes the search feature works for it. But I also noticed an odd bug with last year's version that I recall from previous use- PGC labels for galaxies show up twice, as in "PGC1403868 PGC1403868" displayed next to the galaxy. This doesn't happen with the 2006 version.
