's code tells me that what he has planned will allow users to change or modify search strings very easily in future versions.
It should be just as easy, and use the same format as the custom searches that are used with the FireFox add on... Very cool.

As you may know the included browser on the N900 allows the user to globally set the text size. It is set to "normal" by default. For the visual challenged user (read geezers) "large" and "Very Large" are also available by touching the browsers menu bar (in reduced view), selecting "options", then "Adjust view", then "Text size".
I found that "large" works well for me and most pages adjust correctly with no need for side scrolling. However, some purpose built web pages like maeMaps may not always display correctly.
^maeMaps shown @ "Normal" browser text size
^maeMaps shown @ "Large" browser text size
^maeMaps shown @ "Very Large" browser text size
As we can see maeMaps in the "Normal" view is quite usable for everyone. The CSS "trick" could simply be to suppress what ever text info the browser passes to this page so that the "normal" view is displayed regardless of the size selected by the user.
Good luck and a big Thanks to you and
