Re: Lazy man's google search of the group...

Hi Jason,

I used your page to search for"RAYITE" (message 91)
it returned no result at all. The subject line of message 91 was "RAYITE for routers". I also dod a no result search for "RAYITE for routers". Presumably this message is not in the Google cache.

Also the subject titles often don't indicate the actual subject.
e.g. limit switches were recently discussed in some depth under the subject line "Help a confused newbie out please" So a search for "limit switch" just cannot show up.

Bill recently re-opened discussions on conversatioal cnc (there was much discussion earlier). It would be beneficial to look at the old messages as well as the current ones. a search with your webpage turned up the old messages but not the current messages.

What you have already done is excellent but there are still shortcomings in the quest for searching within this list.

Regards
Bob Thomas
