(grr) that would have been the best user guide ever for novice programmers, but even for more advanced ones.
Agreed. That was becoming the most used command in the channel. It was extremely useful.
i can consider opening a specific room in irc.freenode.net for that purpose, but it won't be on the air 24/7.
There is a #tiggrbox channel, and it was possible to do searches in there until kat pulled the feature offline altogether.
The purpose of the channel would be the archive searches only, so that they disturb and are disturbed by nothing.
No one was disturbed or bothered by this. As I said it was one of the most useful features of the irc channel. I'm doing my best to get it back.
Since there are dedicated users in time zones far apart, perhaps a shift systems could be used to keep the room open at almost all times?

As a side note: it's possible to keep a channel open 24/7 on freenode even when the channel is otherwise empty.
