Guest guest Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 A question re message archive searches: I just tried to do a search through the archives, and it seems the search function is not working the way it used to work. Has something changed? It now searches the messages in small batches, requiring re-entry of the search term repeatedly, versus simply listing the messages that contain the search term in response to the first entry. I think it was better before. Mary Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 I am not so sure about before. I thought it have always been the same. is always upgrading their system to make the groups better. So far I have no complains. With regards to the search function, yes sometimes you do have problem when doing a search on a specific topic. Many a time I end up with : The database is unavailable [ something like that ]. It can be very confusing sometimes when you try to follow the discussion in the message board. That is the reason why we have decided to compile messages based on topic. READ PAST DISCUSSIONS Message which appear at the main group page. This is the link http://shaktisadhana.50megs.com/Resource/Messageboardmain.html We are always in the process of compiling and adding more topics to the "Group Discussion" page. This process of compiling can be tedious and time consuming, but to me it is worth it. Can do wonders to my soul. Volunteers are always welcome.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 The search in the archives seems to work well though it gives results in batches. It is not necessary to type the search query again. I saw that by just clicking on previous/next, I can transit to another batch of search results. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 Dear Mahesh: Thanks for the reply re my search difficulty. Yes, the next button will help. But it was still better when it searched the entire archive instead of small batches.
