I skipped most of SteveC's modules initially because he likes to utilize
the functionality he built into Bio::Root::Object and Bio::Root::Global
(understandably).  below is log of what I just checked in.

I believe the entire Search dir is to be removed per Aaron Mackey saying
that it is not in a usuable state and probably never will....

I can fix it if we are definitely keeping it, I am under the impression it
is to be trashed...  not sure though.

dependance on Bio::Root::Global and the $AUTHORITY variable 
which steve had this coded to his old stanford email address,  
I removed this dependance and hardcoded the $AUTHORITY var to be local to
WWW.pm and have the value 'nobody@localhost' if anyone is using it they
probably should speak up....

depends on old Bio::SeqFeatureSet which no longer exists, I'm not sure
what to do here
