   In the new version, is the Search functionality alittle smarter?

I was placing a test order, and noticed that you can click on the SEARCH button (top right) without typing anything in.  Basically, it results in a large result list since it is listing everything.

On the Advanced Search web page: ( advSearch_h.asp )

It appears to be an AND search on the words.  Would be nice if the customer had a choice.

On the results page, it would say:

Products found: 6 - Narrow your search 

However, if you click on the link 'Narrow your search',  it goes to the Advanced Search page.  Since, it does not save any of your settings (like the last used keyword), its more of a 'Start new search'.

	For the current release, I dealt with the issue by doing a TOP 20 in the select statement. With 3.x looming and other issues with 2.7, I do not want to put more time into it.
