    It's nice to be able to enter a conference area and search for old items.. But
    it sure
    would be nice if there was a way to do a System-Wide search of all message areas. I
    know it would be system intensive, but consider this..

    When you have 50 or more message areas and you're trying to find the recipe for
    Texas
    barbecue sauce but you don't remember whether you posted it in the Good Housekeeping
    area, or the Budget Gourmet area, or the Unique Cooking With Style area... so then you
    have to go into each area and repeat the search..

    By doing a global search similar to the way you can when looking for files, this would
    prevent you from forgetting to search an area.

    Something to consider adding in the future.. heck it might even pay to use the same
    search code but add a checkbox for a global search, or just an area search..

    The only issue with this would be when WINServer autoprunes its message bases. --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.1
