Hi Nicola It's been saying in the next few weeks for at least a couple of years to my knowledge. Pity coz it could be a really useful tool. Pauline

It has been supposed to be imminent for the last couple of years, but even more imminent since about May or June this year. I guess we will have to expect it when we see it. I think it is a shame they couldn't provide a batch download facility while they were testing the search program, but it seems that testing the search must have turned out to take longer than they expected.
