Subject: [ib-support] Re: Searchable message base of this forum


Ya know, what we really need is for some clever person to write a bot
that:

1) connects to Yahoo and retrieves individual messages. e.g.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ib-support/message/1{through to highest
message}?expand=1

2) parses the message body html -- your choice of tool (PHP, whatever)

3) indexes the message header and footer (poster, date, etc.)

4) indexes the message body contents (words), and stores the original
page

Now that would be sweet! Before you ask -- no, I'm far to lazy to do
it... although I do have some time on my hands... hmmmm...

Andrew Ferguson
