news search bs <stuff>
Search on '<stuff>' produced following results (only last 50 displayed):

Ok so how do I search for a post written by someone (after which he wrote 50+
posts) if I can only see the last 50 posts? Could it be possible to search for
the "next 50" posts? I might be blind but I didn't find a searchthingy at the
website at the forums..

And no, I obviously don't remember the subject for that post :(

Hola,

Since search can possibly block the MUD to oblivion, results are limited.
I see that I haven't fixed web-based news search after the new website. I'll
try to fix it ASAP and will give you heads up on when you can use that to
search more extensively.


^o^

Yes I kinda figured the restriction was because it could block the MUD to
oblivion, but if you could define at what point you started the (maximum of 50
posts) search would it be as bad?

news search ideas-wanted blackstar 7000

would start the search from the post 7000 and so on.

I have no idea how databases and stuff work, so this might be silly, but if it
isn't it would be nice. Then again nice and silly is a good combination.
Searching for blackstars ideas is just plain silly.
