archive searches

[Andy Rudoff]

The internal search function was causing the server to become unavailable
now and then sue to a software bug.  I'm working on getting the appropriate
software updated and hopefully it won't be too much longer.  But since
this is all done in my spare time I'm afraid I don't have a definite
time estimate yet on when it will be done.  I know the google search
doesn't search the most recent posts -- I apologize for the inconvenience.
I will get the internal search working again when I can.

thanks for your patience on this.

> Hello all. I will ask you if you need to search the archives for the foreseeable future to please use Google. Google seems to work fairly well for finding things in the archives. The reason for the search function being turned off at the PTG server is because when someone searched the archives, the server, for some unknown reason as of yet, would hang up. At that point you were not able to reach

I am speaking on the behalf of the entire Electronics Communications Committee because I am the Admin on duty this week. I can tell you that the problem is being worked on, and we are hopeful for a speedy resolution to the problem. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused anyone. -Phil, admin for the week
