I had thought the flight information facet would be what I would value most, 
until right now. When I need it, it's broken.

  Adrian,

  While I agree that FS needs to keep up with Yahoo, I'm concerned about just 
how ResearchIt was designed to work.

  If it was set up to "find" information on particular web sites using our 
input phrases, then I think we're doomed to having a broken ResearchIt most of 
the time, and FS is doomed to providing sub-micro updates just to keep up with 
the changes in web sites out there. I hope I'm terribly wrong about this 
scenario, but not being an expert in creating the ResearchIt scripts, I don't 
know how "fragile" they actually are.

  Dave

    The latest release of JAWS 11 was touted as handling Yahoo websites better, 
and it does. Yahoo, which used to be JAWS friendly, had become suddenly less so 
in the past year. So I do believe FS does need to keep updating JAWS as the 
Internet evolves. I wish that were enough to keep FS sufficiently profitable 
without adding the false lures of Research It and similar distractions from its 
core functions.

    Marvelous, and this is the big gee-whiz reason we're all supposed to 
switch! This has to be the worst release ever.

    Hi,

    I tried several locations and varied the syntax slightly; it still didn't 
work. Even their example "Jackson, MS" didn't. Oh well.

    I just tried that. There must be something wrong with that part of 
ResearchIt. I didn't get any results, either.

    Hello,

    I just joined this list last night.

    I just recently (this week) upgraded to Jaws 11.

    If I enter research it and check weather (which is my primary setting) all 
is well.

    If I check time though by entering Nashville, TN. I get no time search 
found or some such message, what could I be doing wrong.

    I know the time in Nashville so started there first. (I'm in the same time 
zone)

    Nothing I enter in time search brings me any time info.

    Please help.

    Have a blessed day, Stacey Robinson and GEB dog Chesley Eagleville, 
Tennessee. staceyr75@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
