The Unofficial Guide to Cobra Replicas

As this project gains in information, it's utility is likley to diminish if the information remains structured by a spreadsheet. Give thought to using this site as a route to a data base that is amenable to query. For example, asking which manufacturer provides the option to adjust the pedal location relative to the driver's seat can be answered by scrolling through what will become a wealth of data, reading row by row, or using a well designed interface to allow a reader to query the pertinent information. Just the scale of the spreadsheet will discourage many from looking for the answer to their question, jus as many are reluctant to wade through page after page of posts, even those that are already grouped under a theme or topic.

The search utility on this site works well. I may be mistaken in thinking this capability will not extend to a spreadsheet embedded in a post. Either way, the potential scale of what is only now gaining interest will, over the course of the next few months, prove unmanageable if left configured as a spreadsheet. A well engineered data base will permit what is proving to be an exciting opportunity realize the potential those who support the effort believe it can have.

You are correct; the search engine deals with text in posts, not links or attachments.

We are not currently in a position to create, manage, update and administer a searchable data base with queries.
