How to find old threads in the search engine
Hi all,
I was searching the data bank for old stuff the Bobby at Atlanta did for an customer about 2 or 3 years ago. I found that I could not go back more than one year. How can I get past the new,(to me), format and see old threads. Thanks, Jeff

I bookmarked this search page... check the settings for where you are searching(as in which forum) and how far back to search. You can search by user name too.

Any method I try in doing a search only yields posts from present back to '05.
. Try this: Click on this link from Jan., '02, ... (saved in my 'puter file) . New Source for H-1 and H-7 HID Units . ...copy/paste the subject (or any key words) into the search, then copy/paste the author's name, Paul Wishnafski, into the "Search By User Name" box. You'll get zippo. . I may contact Wayne to notify him - 'might be that he has closed off the archive intentionally or by accident.

I'll be danged. 'Worked for me, too.
I don't understand why I'm not able to get further back than '05 when searching. Mystery.

This is frustrating. I've lost the ability to search the total archive.
. Bill, . How did you get back to the very beginning? Details, please. . In the drop down window, does yours say "a year ago" or "from the beginning"? . Thanks. .

I'll be a sumb!tch. It worked using the "and older" box.
After all these years, first time I've had to use that box. Thanks for the help, Bill. .
