The GlazeBase glaze database is again available on the CeramicsWeb. It is
now running on a MUCH easier to maintain server as a FileMaker Pro database
(just like the ClayArt glaze database), so I hope to be able to add to the
original database soon.

There are a couple of hundred more new glazes on the ClayArt database now
from recent ClayArt discussions.

I've also added new a couple of new features to both of these servers:
You can now get just a list of glaze names with cone, color and date and
choose from that which actual recipe you want to look at for faster
browsing. (this may not work today for the GlazeBase database, but it's
being fixed!).

You can now search for a word everywhere in a recipe or its comments on
both of these databases.

You can search for glazes by estimated thermal expansion, for instance
finding all glazes with an estimated thermal expansion of <70.

Searching by date is still not working quite the way I'd like, but I'm
looking into that.

Let me know if you find any problems or have comments, feel free to write.
