A short note about the search facilities; There are two of them, the Google option which you see first and the "classic Forum search". The principal differences that I know of are:
The "classic forum search" allows you select which topics you search, time scales, authors and so on BUT it will not search on strings less than 4 characters long. The Google search will look for 3 letter or less. So if you want to search for "DCC", using classic forum search won't turn anything up, but using Google will.
Happy hunting,
