I'll second that. It only takes a minute.

Actually I just searched for classic II, and I found two records, but I
think only one record was for you (#118) and it showed the updated
information (GENERIC #5). It looks to me like your update went fine.

Perhaps your browser cached the search results from before your editing. If
that was the problem, you should remember to do a "reload" after editing.
Some browsers ignore the signal not to cache the result of a CGI program,
such as the search engine.
