Why Browse? Why not just search?

The browse feature is made available for several reasons.

The biggest reason is that our survey revealed that people are used to,  and still attached to,  the old Yellow Page method of finding something.

Search is great is you know exactly what you are looking for. It's great on the Internet. But, Search brings up hundreds of pages and then you need to decide what you want to see. You have to skim and do a search again to find what you are really looking for. Some people love this method.

However, thousands of people told us to please keep the old fashioned category type of indexes because they were used to it and in some ways it is much easier for them to use.

We have both the Search and browse methods available on each page. This allows everyone a choice.
