Looks good!
Something I'd like to be able to see would be searching by two different
items eg theme and date, so I could see all the Space sets in 1987. As
an alternative, being able to sort the result set by year, or price, or
number of pieces would be useful (especially year).
Are the minifig searches from Fibblesmork going to be rolled into this
new guide some time? It was/is really useful to know which sets a
particular minifig appeared in.

I think we'll need to add some kind of advanced search. Right now if you
do some URL hacking you can get it to do logical-or, IIRC, on the theme
(category) and date (year), but of course it needs to be logical-and instead.

Ya, that would rock!

Yes, some time, but we're not sure when.

I think Huw Millington's database called BrickSet shows this info for many of
the sets.

I'll heartily 2nd this! A very good improvement to the DB interface!

I'll also heartily 2nd this! There have been a number of times when I'm
looking for, say, a town set that came out between 1984 and 1987, for example--
and perhaps I even know that it's got more than 100 pieces... It'd be very
handy to be able to include search criteria like this.
As for what I'd want to search by in an advanced search:
-Set Number (or range)
-Set Name (or close to it)
-Year (or range)
-Theme
-Piece count (usually range)

Hadn't ever thought of that, but while I'm at it, I'll 2nd this too :)
Looks great!
