oops, sorry richard. I misread (i.e., didn't quite read) your first email. Yes, when the web search works, it works perfectly. For some people (including me) it times out 90% of the time instead of working. I have more luck when I try it at 3am and such times. The problem with it taking 4 minutes, is that often times, after waiting the 4 minutes, it fails with a timeout error. And then it does it again. And so on. That's not so much fun! But whatever you're doing wrong to get it to work, I wish I was too.
