Hi everyone - good morning.
I'd like to dig up some older threads by certain members and have no idea how to do it. Will you help me?
Thanks

This site
has the worst search engine ever created.
It will not pull up posts for a particular user (sorry Craig, but it we follow your instructions using sundanceh the first thread you created that pops up is from 2009).
It will find keywords in a post, so if someone is consistent in signing their name, or uses some kind of catchphrase as a signature you can search on that. You can also search on a subject, and assuming it is spelled correctly it will pull those up, along with anytime that subject term was used in a post...
It can be very tedious, but there is stuff to be mined on this site.
Good luck,

Use Google and type in what or who you are looking for,
followed by this: site:csn.cancer.org
You can use that method with Google to find anything on any
website, regardless if the site has it's own search engine or not!
If you wanted to see what HP printers the Staples store has,
you would type: HP printer site:staples.com
I'm not too sure how far back the archives go here, but if you're
really ambitious, you can use the "wayback machine" to search for
really, really old material. Everything you do on the Internet is
cached someplace; there are no "privacy rules", and no-one
is exempt. If you're old enough to remember dial phones, the
Internet is just one big "party line".......
Stay well,

Another Tip
Is to put the topic or keyword you are looking for in quotes.
Like "HAI pump" it finds just those words together.
BUTT, I just tried searching on CEA and it turned up NO RESULTS!
We talk about CEA a few times a week so I think it does just suck.
John's idea works well too provided there are no issues with the site and how Google indexes it. (Geek-Speak)0
