Easier way to search archives?

From: jceg5540 (greendoc@sonic.net) | Date: 2005-01-26 14:33:15 UTC

Greetings,

I am planning a library letterbook and was hoping to search the
archives for inspiration. It seems I can only search in 30 message
segments at a time, which would make for a very slow and cumbersome
search of the 46,000 messages. I did a yahoo "search archive" in
the help but did not find an answer. IS there a better way?

Thanks, Mimulus

I recently placed a letterbox in the Andover, MA Memorial Hall Library and found some help on this page.

www.letterboxing.info/glossary/ term.php?term=library%20letterbox

and with a Google search:

library site:letterboxing.org

You can use the same type of trick to search the LbNA talklist archive with Google:

library letterbox-usa site:groups.yahoo.com
