[Sigia-l] Search Engines: 99% Bad

I must concur with my learned colleague here. I'm part of a team working on a
project within a large organisation at the moment - project staff use google to
find the project home page on the organisation's external site. I am not there
to fix the external site's navigation structure: it is just a reality of the
environment.

Cheers, Andrew
