Isn't there a way to search the forum for older messages? I wanted to look up some former discussions, but I don't want to comb through years of material to search for a needle in a haystack. It seems like there should at least be a way to pull up one's own messages. Is there, and I'm just missing it?

Thanks.

Try Google. I think it works reasonably well.

Unfortunately there is no good search engine for the forum yet, but people proposed it and it may be there in the new version of the forum.

The google advanced search has the option to search within a specific site:
