Re: The Case of the Missing "Prefered Search" Button

Hi Everyone,
My problem regarding the missing Save Search button has been resolved.
After looking around in my wwwoptions file, I decided to change the string
of ptypes eligible to save searches to a list of ptypes eligible to save
searches.  I changed:

       PREF_SEARCHES_P0-6,11=10:n
                        to
       PREF_SEARCHES_P0=10|n
       PREF_SEARCHES_P1=10|n
       PREF_SEARCHES_P2=10|n       etc.

Now the Save Search button is back.  I do not know what happened that
necessitated this change, but we are back to normal.  I hope this helps.
