Since you and the rest of us survived this event, any chance you could answer my long ago question as to whether or not this forum could have topic categories

I think that would be unneccessary and counterproductive- space/science gets a moderate amount of traffic and subdividing it further would not improve organization- I count only 22 active threads now- not so many that subcatagories are useful...

And is a Search option going to be made available?

This could be very useful, but also it could be very difficult to implement- since Robert S is not being paid to do this, I dont think he is obligated to add new features-

These are just my opinions...
