The Search Function: Somewhat Crude, but It's All There
In Response To: While i was sick... ()

Glad to hear that you are feeling better and that we had some role in your recovery.

Yes, the "Search" function on this forum is very useful . . . somewhat crude by some technical standards, but simple and powerful. You can go back to the very first postings, over seven years ago. In a perfect world, we would have mined the most useful information and images, and incorporated all of it into the proper place in OnTheDash; in an imperfect world, we can still find lots of great information through the "Search" function.

: Unfortunately i've spent the last 3 days in bed sick. I'm well on
: the road to recovery now but between sleeps had to find some
: form of light entertainment.
: Daytime television offered nothing of any quality (no real shock
: there ! ) so i decided to look back through old forum posts.
: For those of you that were unaware, its possible to read forum
: posts from the past. The entire "back catalog" of
: forum posts is available through the search option.
: This is the proceedure - 1. Click on search 2. Click on the date
: option 10 Mar 2003 - todays date 3. place a word/phrase of
: interest in the key words box.

: I tried many different searches over last the 3 days and found a
: wealth of information and entertainment. Some of my most
: entertaining searches came from more general terms we use in the
: day to day readings on this forum, ie. Chronomatic, pvd,
: montreal, bargain, paypal, 18 karat, F1, Jack Heuer ...

: The options are endless, as is the model information. I highly
: recommend readers that have never tried this before to take a
: moment and try this option. Try searching for a model name, be
: as general or as specific as you want there's a ton of helpful
: words from the past out there for you. A definate asset when
: researching the background of a particular model (maybe your
: next purchase).

: My thanks to go out to all of those that have contributed to the
: forum at any stage in the past for 3 days of support and
: entertainment whilst i was sick.

: Feeling a lot better now - Darren
