I did a search for the single word octavia (don't ask why ) and apart from the fact that it timed out umpteen times, the following was returned:

Threads found, between 28/07/2001 and 27/09/2001, containing the word(s) octavia, in the title only

Now apart from the fact that none of the titles contain the word octavia (the one about octavias is mispelled!), if we take the top thread, dated 24/08/01 allegedly:

SDB

The search was a temporary measure which worked perfectly until the BBS software went up the wall and we had to rebuild all the thread files which screwed up all the dates.

It's a case of being better than nothing at present though.

The new software has a good search facility so the waiting will be over soon!
