[Genome] I can't search a range by rs# anymore!

[Brooke Rhead]

Hello Geoffrey,

Thanks for the compliments on the Browser.

You are correct that this behavior is caused by the additional listing 
of SNPs in the HapMap SNPs track, which is new on hg18 this week.  (And 
we just updated the search function on hg18 this morning!)

Another user also brought this problem to our attention last month (it 
is also an issue on hg17):

http://www.soe.ucsc.edu/pipermail/genome/2007-June/013947.html

The issue you are referring to is #2 our answer to that user.

Thank you for letting us know that it is affecting your work.  We are 
working on a fix for it right now, but I don't yet have an estimate for 
when it will be done.
