With NetSurf, you have to scale the page down; 90% works here for me.
And searching within a frame works here too.
Right. The problem is that you can't scroll the whole frameset
horizontally, and the individual frames can't be scrolled so NetSurf
just gives up. I had to scale down to 70% to get the index frame in,
although it will display some frames at 90% and full screen width.
My inclination would be to greatly simplify and split up that page,
and do away with frames altogether. I can't see the point of the
<noframes> section - surely it would be better to provide links to the
main index and search facilities. Are there any browsers where you can
turn frames off?
