Hi again people, Been doing some work on this project... So far so good ! =D I've got a template interface nearly complete, and a prototype of the engine online and working. However I will need to modify the CGI's HTML code so I can use XCommand's interface... That may take a while. (so when you get search results, it will have XCommand's interface and custom results) When the new XCommand is done it will be quite spiffy, to say the very least! For instance, you want to find everything to do with a Floater on XCommand. Do a search. It will come up with results in Screens (if there's a screen of a Floater), Ufopedia : Aliens, and *any* other web pages with the word 'Floater' in. Case doesn't play a role; type in FlOaTeR, floater, Floater or fLOATER and you'll get the same results. Also, you'll have categories for each game which you can browse to find specific information/files. Every Ufopedia article, file, screen, EVERYTHING, will have it's own page. So there'll be a unique page for the Sectoid Autopsy from UFO, a unique page for my unofficial XCom desktop theme, whatever. This will be a BIG step for XCommand. The categories may be slightly redundant though, seeing as the search engine will cover *all* of XCommand. But, sometime's it's best to browse to see quality rather than search for something specific. ;-) It'll be like a giant XCom megasite with a database, with a search engine. =) Feedback? Cyas. -Byron
