Huh. I will have to check it out. A lot of people complained about the old one, but I think it is just a matter of what you are used to.

It was not so much the look of the site for me... so the new one is fine (looks like some others I have seen actually). But what I hope improves is their search capacity. They also need to add more photos and info about the product offerings.

search engine still sucks unless you use advanced search. It still searches for every instance of a search work so type in "Coupler Spring" and you get every instance of Coupler and every instance of spring.

I agree with you guys, the search function is horrible unless advanced search is used, and even then sometimes it is still difficult to find what your after. That is something that needs to be improved upon, but i think they made a nice change with the layout/color scheme. Who knows, with the recent change, maybe they will work out a new search function

I agree.

One workaround, albeit clunky, is to use Google to search Wathers with "site:*". For example, go to Google and type:

"coupler spring" site:www.walthers.com

You'll get a bunch of hits with the product numbers in them, which can then be copy/pasted into the main Walther's site.

A better integrated search engine would be nicer, though...
