Old Forum Archive

Is it possible to search the Old Forum Archive for past topics and information?  I didn't notice a search box or search function available.

Im looking for details on a specific lake. I guess i could always ask Bo, he's been there enough times..lol

Hi "Swift"

The lack of a 'search' feature on the old forum can be 'worked-around' by doing a search using the Google search engine.

Here's an example of a good search input .. " Network54 Algonquin Adventures forum Rock Lake "

It brought up a page and a half of old forum posts discussing "Rock Lake"

Re: Old Forum Archive

The best way to use Google to search the old forum is like this:

site:http://www.network54.com/Forum/352882 "rock lake"

The "site:" part of the link means that you're ONLY searching the old forum (not all of the internet). The quotes around "rock lake" mean that you'll only find references to Rock Lake, not references to the word rock or references to lake individually (i.e. they allow you to search for a specific phrase)
