When you search for teams whose name includes a string (e.g. ABC) you sometimes get more than 100 hits. But many of these teams are either dormant, or have no active members. How about filtering out those with no units or no members ? Right now the list of the first 100 is not sorted alphabetically. Maybe by date the team was formed ? Kinda like furlongs per fortnight. Not a terribly useful measurement.

Another suggestion...list the teams (after a wildcard search) in descending order of either number of members, or in units completed. Seems to be a lot of teams with only one member, and no work units. Since there is no way for outsiders to contact the team owner, maybe it is the responsibility of "senior BOINC management" to fire a note off to the owners of apparently dormant/extinct teams, asking if they want to remain "live" or could they close down.
