Searching the Archives

Drebbel · 04-07-07, 07:14 AM

I re-read the original post and I think he is refering to the archives of the old phpbb forum.

The original phpbb searchengine is not real good and puts a real strain on the server, that is why it is disabled in the phpbb archives. So I think you will never see a real good searchengine for the SubSim phpbb archives. Unless some one will be paying Neal for all the additional costs.

This forum has an archive as well:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/archive/index.php/

Ah, yes, forgot about that. But do they really contain threads that are not listed in the active forums ?

Thanks Guys!

I was looking for a post which I knew existed but to which I couldn't recall the specifics, this was in the SH3 Mods forum and had since been archived because it was older than Nov 2005.

The Google way of doing things worked for me.

Thank You.

Things have somewhat changed with the Google approach to searching the Archives & I would like a little guidance.

It seems that now if I use the above URL + Search String that I just get a complete listing of the topics/threads that have been archived. How do I search these?

Example - http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/archive/index.php/ scene.dat
