I thought there WAS a keyword search? Or is it just that the keywords
are merely exactly what the description is rather than including
alternate keywords?

Don't actually have an example at the moment but actually haven't
cross checked back between the 2 columns of text yet, like I said I am
still working on it. I figured I'd throw that question out to the
masses since I was asking anyways :^)

I was kinda aiming for posting it here and for inclusion in peeron and
where ever else anyone wants to use it. Or in other words I wasn't
going for just submitting to peeron alone but certainly have no
objection to your use of it once I get it done. Seems kinda pointless
for me to make up the inventory then not make it available (on a new
set that is still common I can see the part sellers keeping the
inventory private, but not on a 1996 set....)
Oh by the way, the inventory for 7124 Flash speeder has the Town Seat
(4079) listed just as 'chair' , and I believe the red/black base/mini
antenna is the lever (298) and lever base (4593) combo. I don't have
my copy handy (i.e. lost in the collective) to double check with
though. You can see the town seats in the Lugnet Guide picture.
