Interesting. There was a search box on AppleVis as of a few days ago. They must have done a site update recently. I often go to AppleVis to search for apps or other items, and this is the first time that I've noticed it gone. Granted, even when I do a search, I still have to dig down a few layers/pages to find what I want. Perhaps someone from AppleVis can speak to this, since I know they lurk on this list. Well, there's always the good old Google search for finding specific information, but I also know not everyone is comfortable with that too.
