    They have had a change round, but I was unable to search a name due to the pop ups. I accept that they need advertising revenue, but if it puts people off using the site this will have the reverse affect

    It appears to have been centre and all the data is squashed in the middle. I did a name search, but could not get past a pop up for sports equipment and gave up

    So do I. I hate having to type in names in each box and then cycle through a list.

    Great thought - their search mechanism does some stupid things and this could shortcut that big time.

    If you guys go to boxrec and want to search for say Jermain Taylor. Type "Jermain%" "Taylor%". If you add a % attached to the end of a name, it only brings back results that match the exact word you typed in.
