I suspected the Search box was the only option at present, apart from stepping through the images, lower left, one by one in some rigid order they have imposed. I just don't have 36 hours in every day to spend doing any of that.
I have never yet known a quick search box on any website that did not assume a high level of prior knowledge on the part of the searcher.
Can you sense I am extremely unhappy? I was tempted to start a poll but resisted that.
Promises of future goodies are all very well but our currenty saved links seem to have all gone to that great rubbish dump in the sky !!
They should not have released their new website until it was ready. Shame.
