Search capability ?
« on: December 02, 2007, 06:02:56 PM »
I've been trying to figure a way of collecting all of the contents of one thread in a single file.
I tried using the search function and it won't do the trick. I can't seem to make it pick up a phrase from the header of each item in the thread. Specifically, I'm trying to capture the entire "A Map" thread in Alera spoilers so I can do a search on it for specific items.
Any idea how to do this?

Thanks
Mikey (aka Belgarion)

copy and paste?   delete what you don't want?

To be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step to knowledge.

10 full thread Pages and growing. That's a lot of copy and paste.
I'm looking for a repeatable way to do it.

You can go into the "A Map" thread and use the Search input box in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. It'll search through that specific thread using whatever parameters you input.

You can also select the "print" tab while in the thread.  It opens into another window, which is searchable.  Or, if you want to have it on hand for future reference, from that same print window you can copy the whole thread and then paste it into a doc.
