a "front end" for the CWGC.org site

I don't know if this has been posted somewhere here before.
I recently stumbled on this site:
http://www.hut-six.co.uk/cgi-bin/search39-47.php

Basically it seems to be an interface to the cwgc site , with extra search selections . The trick is to use the "including" box(es) - you can try an address or parent's/spouse names etc .
There are different tabs for WWI and WWII .

I think it's fab !
