Unhappy DeeperBlue & Google Searches are now rubbish

Hi,
DeeperBlue searches used to be almost perfect. Since the upgrade they have become rubbish -- completely unusable. (Google itself appears to have become less effective in the last 6 weeks -- others have also noticed).

Not only does it never find a relevant thread but, even worse, it return lots of irrelevant links. At least part of the problem appears to be that it is finding text in your "top 10 links" sections. Unfortunately, when you click the links, the top 10 links have always changed -- & so has our chance of finding the thread. Also, you do not display the view cached page option that in Google allows you to view the old version of the page (& find that old top 10 link).

Suggestion: fix the search & then add a search box (like eBay) to the header on each page.
