On another subject for DMOZ. Does anyone else notice that the search function is ALWAYS down:
The Open Directory search is temporarily unavailable. Please try back later.
I always get this when I try to use it. Any ideas why

It just worked fine for me.
Just a reminder re the search function at DMOZ before anyone else jumps on it - we have already discussed it in this thread...
DMOZ is a directory. Directories are for browsing. Google is a search engine. Search engines are for searching. If you want to search for a site, use Google et al. If you want to browse a category of sites associated with a keyword(s), use a directory. SO, search at DMOZ is best thought of as finding a list of categories associated with a keyword(s) and maybe also show a sample of sites - it never shows all sites.... having said that, he DMOZ search could always be improved to return more sites (if it wants to be more like a search engine :-)
