[ale] Searching ALE mail archives?

[Ron Frazier]

Type this into the Google search box:

"firefox photo" site:ale.org

Substitute your desired word or phrase inside the quotes.

You can search for posts containing someone's name as follows:

"john doe" site:ale.org

Finally, the following URL will do a search for john doe, but will 
display 100 entries per page:

https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&as_q=&as_epq=john+doe&as_oq=&as_eq=&num=100&lr=&as_filetype=&ft=i&as_sitesearch=ale.org&as_qdr=all&as_rights=&as_occt=any&cr=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&safe=images

Substitute your search phrase for john+doe.  If you want to search for 
only one word, put it where john+doe is and remove the plus sign.

Sincerely,

Ron

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, you might want to
call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new messages very quickly.)
