We've known for some time that the review library is difficult to navigate and search. We had been planning to put in place a more intellgent search feature that would allow users to disaggregate search results from the reviews library, the forum, from our publications and from other parts of the site, but our website developers have unfortunately let us down and this functionality has not been delivered.

It has also become apparent that, in transferring content over, keywords and descriptors uploaded by website users to enable their reviews to be more easily searchable have not been included.

Over the next couple of weeks we are going to trawl through every entry in the library, putting in place common keywords, simplifying the categories that already exist and ensuring that descriptions of each review are optimised so that, when you use the search function on the website, the right review(s) are coming up when you want them to.

This process may take some time but you will all hopefully begin to see the results bearing fruit in the not too distant future.

In the meantime, apologies for the problems that I know many of you are having.

Thanks Ed, as impatient as I am and in ackowledging that you are probably in the middle of sorting out the review library - can I throw into the mix the issue of appendices with final reports that seem to have turned themselves into additional final reports and that currently there is no editing option, meaning that additional documents can't be appended to final reports (if that makes sense).
