Curious if there's a way to search the archives

[Sol]

Hi,

I'm curious to know if there's a way to search the archives? It'd be nice to be able to, for example, find all the messages that contained some particular keyword.

If it works out well, I'll set it up for the Latin and Asian boards as well.

Patrick,

The search engine on the Russian board looks great. I guess I won't need to write that little web crawler after all!

Thanks,
Sol

I know how to read the archives but what I want is SEARCH capability.

For example, if I want to find all the messages ever posted with the keyword 'Barranquilla' in them, how would I do that? Yes, someday I'll read through all of the archives for my own education but in the meantime I'd like to read everything anyone has ever said about Baranquilla.

I could write a piece of code to do http requests and pull down all messages in all archives then search to my hearts content but I was hoping Patrick might have a way to do this. It would be a HUGELY nice feature!
