My recent changes to Full-Text Search benefitting you in a meaningful way was an unintended side effect. Had I known.... <g> I had to do it and also go through full-text searches because of a membership-increasing initiative we're firing off shortly. We've been so focused on iHub because of its comparative size that it escaped my attention for a long time that SI has quietly been growing at an impressive rate, so we're going to pour in some more coal. I'm with you on weaning myself off of Yahoo. I still use it just for the latest news on the homepage, but for everything else, I'm using SI. Mainly because what we have now on SI (and iHub) was designed/tweaked by me and especially Matt and most of it done by ADVFN with Matt parked on the necessary shoulders. It's incredibly cool to have powergeeks at the likes of ADVFN that you can tell "I want it to do this and work like this" and it happens! Well, I got some buying done, though not as much as I really wanted, although that also means not as much as I'd feared (margin). My orders remain, as this just doesn't feel right. An incredible surge when consumer confidence set a record low, home values and sales rates still dropping, unemployment heading strongly upwards? Color me unconvinced, but if this thing has legs, I suppose the worst I'll have is under-buyer's remorse.
