Richard - the old search is also available. The new search is better for 95% of the searches. if you want the old search just click the link on the beta search page at the top. that link will be permanent since the old search is part of the database. The old search was the number one complaint of RCU members because it was slow and yielded bad or no results too many times.

As far as if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Horse and Buggy - wasn't broken..got you there just fine..we have cars and planes now.
Candles - wasn't broken...gave you light...we have light bulbs today
The search you like and don't want us to change...is our 2nd search actually..our last one was completely different using different software

In our business if you aren't changing and moving forward you are moving BACKWARDS. There is always room for improvement.
