Power Searching the Archives

[Guest guest]

Hello CR ALL,

One can do power searches of the CR Society Archives without

being a member or subscriber. The archives are filled with

volumes of CR information, including many useful citations from

the CR Science literature, along with interpretations and

discussions of what these citations mean.

Here is a real life example. Someone asked me whether the experimental

drug Metformin is useful and safe for CR. To find out, one can search

the archives for free, without needing to subscribe or plow through

tons of email.

Go to this webpage:

http://lists.calorierestriction.org/archives/crsociety.html

Click on " SEARCH THE ARCHIVES " .

In the " THE SUBJECT IS OR CONTAINS " field put: Metformin

In the " SINCE " field, put: Jan 2001

Leave the other fields blank. Click on " START THE SEARCH " .

There are 81 matches listed in chronological order.

One can do powerful boolean queries using connectors " AND " , " OR " , etc.

And one can search on numerous other fields besides the Subject field.
