>>Seems like we non PUTM’s could do a search until a couple of years ago. At that time if you asked a question someone would point out you should do a “search”. Times change and so do UT “features”.

>"Seems like" is not an affirmation. Just so others don't get confused, the search option was the prime feature of the PUTM since the site became commercial in September of 1996 or 1997 if I recall correctly. So, it's always been the case since UT turned commercial.

Michel;

I was not aware I was not supposed to be able to do a search as a non PUTM. Is that a tripple negative or what? :)

I did not try to consciously “cheat the system” but I was able to do a search until one fine day and then! Whoops! Sorry about that! :)

Ignorance is bliss. I was indeed blissful.
