The red new comment pointers which used to appear after each post (where there were new comments, of course) have now been restored. These are rather hard to test, so let me know if they seem at all funky.

The search function has been preliminarily activated. You can add a search box to the bottom of your page by turning on "add search footer" in /editpage (click on [editpage] at the bottom of your page.) This performs a brute force case insensitive search of all the text on your page (including your archives, or in other words, through all the text that's ever been on your page.) It is very simplistic at this time. It just tries to match the entire string, so a search for 'george bush' will not find any mentions of 'george w. bush'. Also it searches without thought to html, so a search for 'nasa' will return every post that includes the text string 'nasa', even when that string is not visible - for instance if the post contains a link to "pictures.nasa.gov/images/spacecraft.gif", but doesn't otherwise use the phrase 'nasa'.

This will be expanding. Soon there will be a seperate search page you can go to for more advanced features, plus the ability to search more than one page at a time. Still, this is a start.

There was still a problem, most recently pointed out by the wheel, with editing comments from the old system on the various group pages. I think these problems are now solved, and you should be able to edit the older posts of your own.
