So far as I'm aware you don't need to be a registered user to search the site anyway; I never was. (Unless that's what I'm doing wrong, of course...!) The only way to search their site that works for me is to use Google Advanced search to restrict the search to only the site guardian.co.uk -- I can never remember the syntax, but I think you can also just add "site:guardian.co.uk" to your search string in their standard simple search box. Just examine the URL generated by the Advanced search to find out what the precise keyword is.... -- Harriet Bazley == Loyaulte me lie == USER ERROR: replace user and press any key to continue.
