[303rd-Talk] 303rdBG.com Search feedback

Did Several searches by Target, Pilots name and even Letters and tail 
numbers, results seem great, but who knows if it missed some.  Results were 
swift.
looks good to me. One thing I wouldn't mind seeing, and I don't know if you 
can or are willing to do so but an RSS feed for what happened on this day 
might be cool.
