Progress Report

USER INTERFACE IMPROVEMENTS
The search criteria have been fine tuned, and you can now sort and print your searches (up to 50 records at a time).
There is an easy way to check for the most recently added research: after doing a search you have several options for sorting - including sorting by the date the record was added - which will display your search with the newly added ones first in the list.
