I have found cross search to be a joy and a night mare to use both at the same time the latter of the two being the more correct. I find it hard to focus on a perticu;lar area at the best of times and computer arent a strength either so a mixture of the two brought me to my knee praying for help, however i have pulled myself together and have came across some very intrestin journels and think that if in the future i need to use cross search again i ill be prepaired for it ;)
