Default Re: The GCA Repository (GCA file archive)

I did eventually stumble on to that. As an interface though, that stinks. Better to make that the default, and have searching be an option. Search is an appropriate interface for very large databases. A list I can browse is an appropriate interface for smaller databases. In fact, I wouldn't even bother with a search feature until you have more than a hundred entries in that database.

To continue my example, you're not going to sell me a motorcycle lift that way. All you're going to sell is a paint sprayer.
