After receiving rather a large ammount of emails and mails concerning the speed and usability of the search engine (about 20 infact), not to mention MSN messages too, I've caved in and just coded and uploaded a brand new search engine, hopefully now you should be able to get results almost instantly. I've not set it so that if you know what area what you're looking for is in you can just tick the relivent box, hopefully this should help speed up searches too as it only looks where it needs to and should be a little easier to use.
With a little luck this will keep running efficiently for a while, but, if you have any comments, suggestions, bugs etc, please post here or DC mail me
