I know the webmasters already have their hands full, but...
boy would it be neat if there was a search ability on the clue
section. For instance, if I were to enter "hatbox" then all the
letterboxes so named, regardless of locale, would list.
Wistfull thinking?

There's an easy way to do this or any site search on your own, using the
Google Toolbar.
http://toolbar.google.com/
After you install it, you'll have a Google search window on your browser
toolbar. Enter whatever term you're searching for, then click on the "site
search" button to see results at whatever site you're currently visiting. A
search on "hatbox" while at the LBNA site turned up one result, clues for a
mystery box.
I use the Google toolbar to do site searches as well as web searches all
the time. The one drawback is that it only works with Internet Explorer, so
you're out of luck if you use another browser.

One other caveat -- a Google search will not return results for new pages
on the site until their bot has a chance to add the new pages to the Google
index.
If you're on a Mac or use Netscape or don't want to install the Google
toolbar, you can still do a search at Google.com and restrict it to a
single domain. For example, just enter the search phrase like this:
hatbox site:letterboxing.org
to search for the term "hatbox" on the letterboxing.org site.
