        Now back on line - and much improved in my opinion.
        Added bonus - it's now free to search - no having to pay one credit to view results which may or may not be the ones you want!

          Aha, but it now costs 6 credits to view a cert. and the unit cost of a credit has increased. It previously took 1 credit to view 1 page of results and 5 to view the cert., (provided you managed to identify the correct one within a single page of results). So still 6 credits per cert but more cost.
          What the left hand gives, the right hand takes away. They are making sure that don't lose any money while making folks think they are being generous.
          No doubt this will suit new users but for those of us who have paid many a 1 credit per page over the years of searching, it's a bit of a disappointment.

            Not a benefit for those that are frequent users of the site - but as you say more helpful for new users.

            As a casual user I do find the search facility more user friendly, but from what I have read in various FB groups not everyone agrees!
