PURPOSE: Personally, I never have a need for any packages in the Japanese, Korean, Hebrew, etc. sections, so it'd be nice to select them from a list of "don't search" options. Set a cookie, so I don't have to do it each time. The search is limited to those not in the list. It'd also be nice to have a choice to only search in certain sections. This way if I know what I'm looking for is under 'www', the search results are limited to only that section. It looks like you have the foundation for limiting it to one section, since I can search for new ports within a certain section. If that could be extended to the general search and to be able to select muliple sections I feel it would be a very nice feature. Heck, if the ports.cgi is Perl, I'd be willing to extend it for you, just send it. Thanks -- Jeff Gleixner Steven Wright Saying of the moment: Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.
