Cohousing-L Mailing List: RE: Searching cohousing-L archives

[Rob Sandelin (floriferous]

There is a compiled summary of email on the topic of commonhouses on the
Intentional Communities Resources Pages at:
http://www.ic.org/nica/cohousing/cohores.htm

If there are other subject areas of interest that people would like compiled
send the to me. It would be a good winter project, for those dark, rainy
northwest days when the skiing is no good.

Subject: Searching cohousing-L archives



Many will know about the mine of information tucked away in the archives

for this list. For some time this has been a little tricky to access in
practice. However i have created and updated a version which is on line
at http://nzpp.virtualave.net/coho/  I trust this is both useful and
easy to use.

This one has a number of useful features:
- both simple and complex searches possible in one interface
- search by subject, date or author
- has an option to retrieve all the results in one file
- create a nice search string which can create summaries on certain
  topics to share :
  eg: go there and enter... looking+glass
       or even copy and paste the result url...

http://nzpp.virtualave.net/coho/search.pl?string=%22looking+glass%22
http://nzpp.virtualave.net/coho/search.pl?string=%28%28%22project%22+or+%22c
onstruction%22%29+and+%28manag+or+co%3Fordin%29%29+or+developer

A well designed search engine can be a very powerful tool. I am sure
there are some good tutorials on line about learning to search or if
demand exists ill post something here.
Bug reports to me.

I have also offered the search script code to TCN to host on the TCN
website.
