Outstanding, Rob!
I tried the new search out and it works well. Only thing missing is an
option to extend the search backward or forward in time a few more
months in case the thread is ongoing.
If you could now add an option to get just most recent (last n msgs or
last n days) I would not have to use topica from the web at all! This
option would be for the highest level search only. Given the level of
activity on this topic, we need a granularity finer than one month.
Another idea. How about an option to just list all topics for a given
date range which could then be clicked to explore threads of interest?
I have programming for MANY years and very much enjoy to ease of
programming in Euphoria!
