AH... Yeah, I don't use the search util ... ctrl+f on the appropriate
month is what I've been doing ... which is why I quite often ask that
people make descriptive subject lines! And it's also why I recommend the
nexial archives since the search there is a bit better, however with the
amounts of posts it does return quite a lot of non-related posts.

;) I didn't bother 'spider' about it, but for a few months the search util
on nearly all pages but the index/main page didn't work. So I would just
go back to the first page and do my searches from there for the rest of
the site.
