Bug Fixes in Search Pages

Frogs and lizards love bugs bugs. I hate them.

The real bugs that crawl around on the ground and get eaten by frogs and lizards are OK, except when they bite. But I hate the software kind of bugs.

A visitor pointed out a nasty bug in the foreclosure search that I didn’t know about (and just caused a few days ago in my fight against a screen scraper). In the course of investigating that bug, I found a nest of other ones which made me wonder why more people weren’t screaming at me about how badly the site was working.

As far as I can tell the search pages and the browsing pages are all working a lot better now.

I should run a bug hunt for the web site now and then, with prizes. I’ll bet that would help things quite a bit.

Given that I’m seriously considering a redesign of the site’s theme, however, I should probably run that after the redesign, not before.
