I have installed and attempted to use the latest version of FreeNet, and
have a few questions.

First, the Readme file states there is presently no search function for the
system. What good is the system without a search function ?

plenty good, thousands of people are browsing freesites, posting their blogs and sharing files daily.

If I have the system figured out correctly, it appears that I have to upload
any material I want to share so that it can be split up and dispersed among
the available storage of the system users ? How can others retrieve this
material if there is no search function ?

yeah, in order for other peopl to find the site, you have to publish the URL (or Key) to it, just like on the web. some people are working on providing search engines for freenet, but in the meantime The Freedome engine will list any and every site that you send to it, a great place to start browsing around for stuff to look at/read:

When will you have a system that functions as simply and as easily as other
P2P systems ?

freenet is not like other p2p systems. think of freenet as more like the protocol that other applications ride on top of. if you want a kazaa like app that rides on top of freenet, you want frost.
