I agree that the categorization is a problem, but the search engine really IS crap, as well. Try finding out if there are any texture packages for ultrawings. You'll find that you get 166+ pages of responses. Why? Because the search engine doesn't appear to understand phrases (not with any of the standard search engine operators I've tried, anyway), only single words. Now tell me that's not a problem in a marketplace with a few thousand items. Can you imagine trying to use Google or AltaVista if you could only search for one word and not a phrase? bonni
