Dear All, This past fall the global search for the pbs list archives disappeared. I wrote ibiblio about it, but was told that it was removed since it was added by an ibiblio staff member and thus represented a hack to the mailman software and they were waiting for a search to be integrated to the software. Several people suggested a formula for searching the archives on Google which worked to a degree. A better formula was given this morning on the ibiblio forum list and I tried it and it works well. I'm not sure where I could add how to do it so people can consult this information when they forget, but will think about a way to add it to our web page or the wiki. (One more thing to add to a very long list of things to do.) In the meantime, those of you who are interested could save this for your own purposes. In the Google search box type this: +[pbs] [search terms] site:///lists.ibiblio.org Type this exactly, but substitute the words for what you are wanting to find for "search terms" in the second bracket. For example: +[pbs] [Lycoris 2004] site:///lists.ibiblio.org If you wanted to see the posts on Lycoris from 2004. Or: +[pbs] [Jane McGary crocus] site:///lists.ibiblio.org If you wanted to see the posts Jane had written to our list on crocus. This works really well and is very fast so I encourage you to try it and write down how to do it for future reference. Mary Sue
