I guess I must ask, does a calendar, a calculator, or a clock add to our ability to search?  Don't get me wrong, I think these are excellent features.  But you must agree - DQSD is more than a "Search Bar".  Almost nothing in the "Functions" category is search related.  But I am still glad they are there.   > does the snippet feature add to our ability to search?  If you've found something you were looking for, Snippets are a great way to record what you've found.  I think it goes hand in hand with searching.   > can i achieve the same result with notepad open? No.  This editor allows you to paste portions, or all, of a web page, or web pages, into it.  These "snippets" look exactly as they do on the original web page.  Of course, you can edit the pasted contents.  You could achieve the same thing with FrontPage or Word open....but I don't think that counts for obvious reasons.   Hope that helps.  I definitely hope you give it a try. -Dan   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of John W. Bairen, Jr. Sent: Monday, May 06, 2002 10:49 AM To: DQSD, User SF Subject: [DQSD-Users] new stuff a few questions about the new stuff.   1. how does disabling searches benefit us?  does it help in load time?  does it just cut down on clutter in the menu?  if having all searches loaded isn't hurting anything, why bother?  who knows, in some rare occurrence you may need a search you have disabled.       2. i am having trouble figuring out what disabling searches does anyway.  i go into the help window and uncheck a bunch of them, then i close the help window.  then i reload the toolbar !.  then i open the menu and the search is there.  so i open the help window and the searches i unchecked are re-checked.  also i see no new disabledsearches.txt (or whatever the name should be) in my quick search directory.  is there a save button i'm missing, to save disabled searches?       3. i haven't tried this snippet thing.  i'm not sure how i am supposed to use it and why.  Glenn asked what others thought about making it a standard feature... i'm not sure... (maybe because i haven't tried it) but it seems to me to border on scope creep... or does it?  this is a search bar... does the snippet feature add to our ability to search?  can i achieve the same result with notepad open?     i feel like a "nay-sayer".  i am i missing something?
