"Is there a way to search the archive?" There is the standard google search right there on the main page. If you want to customize this, all you have to do is visit the google advanced search page and enter the appropriate site info. For example, if you enter fer3.com/arc/img, you will be searching all of the files in that specific folder which includes most of the attachments. The linked files are in fer3.com/arc/imgx. Note that there are lots of simple tricks you can use to find specific files. If you select "fer3.com/arc" for the site and then search for the text "sep 2005" you will get files primarily from that month. Google's indexing is not complete (for any site) but it is extensive and remarkably it often includes text extracted by OCR from image files. This sort of searching will not be able to find files that have no text associated with them. -FER --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ NavList message boards: www.fer3.com/arc Or post by email to: NavList@fer3.com To , email NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
