using 2-8-1dev.19 , when i goto your URL there's a `logon' link;
i go there & enter my name/password (i've registered just to test it),
which takes me to a `listings' link titled `preferences'
-- to see the current URL & selected link, use  =  -- ,
on which `search' is not a link; going back to `logon',
there is a `search' link, which i follow, bringing up a document
whose name is `search' but whose title is still `preferences'
entering a dummy zip code (98105, where i once lived),
i am taken to an appropriate listing of cable TV services for Seattle,
in a document named & titled `preferences':
presumably, that's what you're aiming for.

possibly you are being misled by several documents with the same title,
but if you have a different experience moving within the site,
explain it with the same detail & someone may be able to help.
remember that the site may have changed as well as your ISP's Lynx.
