Guest guest Posted July 19, 2001 Report Share Posted July 19, 2001 For me the next button goes back for about the past 30 days, or so. It seems to have just started doing it because when I first got here, I could go back on a search forever. > I've noticed several posts from people who say that it is not possible > to search the archives beyond the past month or so.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2001 Report Share Posted July 19, 2001 I'm not sure if I thanked whoever posted this info about a month ago or so. It seems so simple now that I know how At 04:31 PM 7/19/2001 -0000, you wrote: >I've noticed several posts from people who say that it is not possible >to search the archives beyond the past month or so.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2001 Report Share Posted July 19, 2001 -Sometimes this happens when it is busy, and it will say it's not available. But I just tried it and searched an obscure topic back to April, so I know it should work.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Does anyone know how to search the ENTIRE archives on the site? When I do a keyword search, it only searches the current page of posts. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 You need to keep clicking on 'next' until it goes back far enough for what you want. Cheers, Tas'.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 You can also do a search in Google of the entire site. Unfortunately it doesn't distinguish between lists, and while you can get results from lists you don't want, you can also get results from other lists that are interesting! If you set your google options to show 100 results at a time (with a fast connection) it's easy to look through the results quickly. To search for something like real milk, type : " real milk " site: or site: " real milk " Make sure there's no spaces around the " : " .
