Actually, this does not seem to be a problem with the search algorithm, but rather with something in the redraw code. The long search time is due to memory use and swapping; I don't know exactly how it manage to use memory, though. I do know the workaround, though: Move the requester where you enter the search term outside the window where you have the actual webpage. (It is one of the weirdest bugs I know of...) Eivind.
