Stacey, Can you please add to your list... a boolean search function? We desperately need a better search tool on this site. Being able to specify "title" or "title and description" (like at eBay) would help. A lot. If I'm looking for a hair model, I don't need to see all the items which simply credit the use of other people's hair, or the chair the model is seated upon! The Google search engine is clever enough to identify misspellings (do you realize how many ways people here (merchants and customers) type "medieval"?), but they have real linguists working for them. In the meantime, I'd be happy with something like 3dcommune's setup with "and" and "or" buttons. Being able to use pluses and minuses would be great. 3 fields is plenty. I realize that there will be squawkers no matter what is done, but the current search feature is so utterly useless that anything will be an improvement in the shopping experience. Thanks for listening and taking notes! Carolly
