You're right, you can't search by serial number on the FAA site.... you have
to print out each AD and then read it to see if your serial number is
applicable. Lots of time, effort, and ink required.

To my knowledge the only way to search for all the AD's that apply to
you is to pay the $2000 for the CD or borrow one from an IA. The FAA
has listings but I don't believe you can search based on your serial
numbers. It might take you a year to search the FAA's way. I think that
is on purpose.
