the thing that comes to mind is the constant complaint heard back in winter/spring '01 on the grokster boards – the "no results in
searches" - in which users got literally, no results at all. this led to the grokster update known as 1.5.1 (mar) and built specifically to address bad search issues (via connections) for certain
users. but even still it didn’t fix it for
everyone.
this doesn't move you forward necessarily but it lets you know there's a history of search dysfunction of the type you're experiencing that's never been satisfactorily resolved. even up thru today. listen, with your experience in program set-ups you’re the last person i’d expect who couldn’t install a simple (or even complex) application. don’t worry smokey, it’s not you. i just wish i knew an easy answer that would made it work. but if i did it'd be major news. there's a lot of people still experiencing this today.
