This is an odd one. I'm running Netscape 7.02 and windows 98. Used to run Netscape 7.1 but I got tired of the resource leak and loaded 7.02 per SillyDog recomendation (thanks!)

I used to be able to search bookmarks in 7.02 with no problem. A few days ago I had a wierd situation where I lost my last 2 years of bookmarks. Fortunately I had Norton GoBack installed, so I ran it and got my PC back to the exact same state it was in 24 hours before. All bookmarks returned, and everything seemed to work fine. But now I find that I cannot use the keyword search function to search my bookmarks. When I enter in a keyword to search bookmarks, I get an hourglass, and it hangs. Only way to stop the hang is to use alt/control/delete end task.

Tried reloading Netscape 7.02, but that didn't fix it. Tried renaming my bookmarks.html file as xbookmarks.html, opened Netscape, and allowed it to create a pristine new bookmarks.html. Saved some new bookmarks to the pristine file, which worked OK. Then tried searching the new pristine bookmarks. Same problem - get the hourglass and it does nothing.

Tried searching google but I don't see this problem reported. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated! Thanks - you guys are terrific.

It is hard to diagnose such weird happenings. It will not help you now, but it may, in the future. Just have a back up copy of the bookmarks.html file, when everything works ok, so that you don't have to do too many achrobatics. I don't have 7.02, any more so I don't know if the search feature came before or at 7.02, or was it in 7.1. If the feature did not exist in 7.02, but you are using the same profile as for 7.1, it is no wonder that the thing will hang. The solution would be to create a new profile just for 7.02. But, I am just guessing about this possible difference.
