For me too. I must have been sleeping when I tried it.

That link does not work for me :-(

I tried with Search (Namazu): coerce =>
Namazu: a Full-Text Search Engine
This index contains 0 documents and 0 keywords.

I tried with (Recent 1000 files, Regular Expression): coerce =>
TIMEOUT may occur. Using Netscape is recommended.

I tried (Subjects, Regular Expression): coerce =>
TIMEOUT may occur. Using Netscape is recommended.

It had happened to me before.
I must be out of luck today too ;-)

Thanks anyway.

Jean-Hugues
