I have just tried this but can't get into it - has anyone else had a problem? Sounds useful though.

Yes, it's a very good site but is currently overloaded, according to the response if you try to visit it. They seriously improved the search-mechanism a while back and turned it from something quite good (if you had the time, or could be bothered to trawl through a zillion irrelevant "hits") to something really user-friendly. Maybe they're doing another upgrade, or data-upload or something. Christine
