I don't see anything untoward on W2K/NN/IE. Whassup?

This is what the search results page says:

"Your search for "linux"
returned 11 matches out of 160786 documents:"

But I've got pages and pages and pages of results. ? Is that 11 supposed to
be the total number of hits? Or the number on each page? Me confoozed.

And is it possible to do more complete paging for the results? I don't know
nuttin about verity or whatever it is you're using to generate the results,
but at least a "back" button to go with the "more"...

Um...how about giving all the rows in the results a valign="top" attribute?

Colors...colors... I like the alternating row colors, but the red is too
dark. I'd do it with either the two grays or with white and the lighter
gray. The white/gray gets my vote.

white/gray:

Oh, yah...when I was talking about the leo architecture earlier, I was using
the wrong word. I meant the structure that a user sees and how some of the
pages are organized. It's nothing that can't wait, and I don't have anything
concrete written down. Just some impressions, like putting the three forms
that are on the subscribe page on three different pages. It's a little
confusing that there are three different places to put in your email
address... Just shit like that. Ain't nothin to worry about right now.
