    Lots of interesting programs on MG, from A-->Z.

    http://majorgeeks.com/downloads7.html

    Can't remember how I got these originally, but some will be of interest to MG members and visitors.

    Pity we can't get all MG programs, in one list, sorted to A-Z, on say a weekly basis.

    Would save a lot of searching and maybe contribute more to MG coffers. Bazza

    I was thinking the same thing.

    It would save a lot of hassle, especially when you know the program name, but don't know exactly which section it's listed under.

    Doing a search doesn't help as you get pages of unrelated programs listed that you have to sort through.

    An A-Z list of all the programs would be a great help.

    Thanks Steve and Insomniac for agreeing. Hope suggestion goes further than my previous suggestions. MG search facility is the weakest link on the MG site. IMHO. Too many irrelevant, or seemingly irrelevant, hits. In no particular order as well. Bazza

    Have to agree with you Bazza, its many a time I have spent looking for links to software I know MGs have in the database only to search and come up with spurious links.

    an A > Z would be a great addition IMHO :)

    You can put your search in quotes, or use the Google search box, both work every time :) As of right now, we have other expansions in the works, plus some personal issues slowing things down, so we cant even consider it right now :(

    Thanks for the hints on quotes and google. Will give them a try. Hope it gets on the "to do" list and comes to fruition when you can manage it. All the best from Bazza

    hey MA perhaps in the future sometime you could encorporate a live search like apple has in one of there OS's where it will show different results as you type.

    Hmmm, maybe a "farm" could do this. All I can see is hundreds/thousands of people, typing a particular word showing their results as they type....

    Shall I say, server crash? Unless some sort of indexing gets established......

    sorry, just random thoughts....

    Search is something we realize is weak, it just sort of gets back burnered as we try and incorporate other things you have seen lately, like user ratings :)
