RARA-AVIS: ADMIN: Archive search working again

From: William Denton ( buff@pobox.com)
Date: 24 Oct 2003


The archives search tool is working again. It's at

         http://www.miskatonic.org/rara-avis/archives/rasearch.cgi

What with all the years in the archives now, the layout needs to be changed, but that can wait a bit.

I added some brief instructions: "You can use 'and', 'not', and 'or' when searching. The default is to assume that all words are 'and'ed together. You can use parentheses to group terms, for example 'hammett and not
(falcon or harvest)'."

Each month is made searchable just after it finishes. Early in the morning of the first of each month, the previous month is indexed. If you ever notice anything broken on the RARA-AVIS web site, especially in the archives, please drop me a note. I don't use them much, so I may not notice for a while.

Bill
