searching Summaries using windows 95

[thomas g. warner]

If you are using windows 95 than you already have a search function for
anything stored on your harddrive or any directory. Go to top bar (Edit)
and than down to search. type in the name of what you are looking for. It
will sequentially find every reference to that term on your hardrive.

Tom,

I think that the point of having the ability to search was to include capabilities beyond what windows includes. That
capability provided by MS is pretty limited.

A good browser capable search engine isn't too bad to implement.

Tom,

That's what I've been doing but it requires that one first download the
archive and store it. And then the search turns up many redundant references
to the same thread, including the citations that we all put in our
responses.

Thought it would be simpler to have a searchable web-based archive similar
to Mercedes.
