	First of all, please, do *NOT* post in html.

	Now, the way to find new boards in Frost is to wait for other
people to post them (or to ask in the "boards" board for someone to do
it). When your Frost receives a message with attached boards, it will
add those to your list of known boards.

	The search feature only indexes those files that people have
sent as attachments to Frost messages. It doesn't index all of Freenet
(only a very tiny part of it). As not a lot of people attach files to
messages (because currently Fuqid is the preferred way of
uploading/downloading files to/from Freenet), the search feature is
not that useful.

	The best way to find the file you are looking for is to ask
for it on a related board.

	Kind regards.
