Yeah, here's one I came across yesterday and submitted to their 
feedback form. I wanted to find an article about the Angus and 
Robertson changes that will disadvantage small publishing houses, 
causing the publishers to PAY A&R to carry their books. I did the 
search on ABC news, got the hits, but the links were wrong. Not just 
for the two stories that related, but other non-related stories on 
the results page. The story was only 2 days old, but gone. I have no 
idea why, and doubt I'll hear back from ABC (might).

So I'll give it 9 out of 10 because I do like the new site (The Age, 
too), but it still needs to function properly.

I'm using firefox 2.0, so that shouldn't make any difference.
