Re: forum with no search function?

Out of fun, I had tried for "obnoxious" at www.openeuphoria.org .
The only returned result is a dead link:
http://www.openeuphoria.org/cgi-bin/esearch.exu?postedBy=cklester&toMonth=4&toYear=5&first_res=1
But here is the context displayed on the google result page, which appears to quote an actual post:

I had tried "StatusBar" as well, and all of the 4 returned results were dead links too. They all involve esearch.exu.
That's interesting. I found that dead link after clicking the "repeat the search with the omitted results included." Since the old search isn't up, it's not surprising that it doesn't work, but I wonder why we get such different results.
In any case, it's fairly easy to only get 'good' results by specifying a more complete url. And a lot of them appear to be pretty old, so I guess that google was able to spider the forum. Try putting this into google's search field:
win32lib site:openeuphoria.org/Euforum
This gives me a bunch of results that all appear to be validI haven't tested them all...
