Peter and I make two "NO" votes. How many searches do the rest of you actually have to save? Is saving searches really that useful ? I usually look something up and try to fix it. If I think I may need to save something, I usually bookmark it.

And the performance does suck.

Seems someone in Oracle needs to learn web design, removing the quick
search is bad and the performance is woeful, oh and the view saved
searches button is in the wrong place it should be away from the submit
button and should be somewhere on the left, but then again if the guys
that built the site aren't from western countries then perhaps it all
seems normal to them

Cheer
