I need some help chaps....

....my mate Steve Smith, ex RAF and RAAF, Air 2000 and Thomson died mid Sept last year. There were a lot of posts in the Military Aviation and Where are they now threads with memories and dits.

This past w/e his daughters have asked me if I can find and print out these posts so that they can put them into a sort of "In Memoriam" for them and for his grandson Jack, born just a few months before his death.

Try as I might I just cannot get a match for ANY combination of words in the search function.

Is it possible that they have been archived and if so how can I get them out?

The most powerful search function for PPRuNe is Googoo. Sad as it seems, I can type a single word that's not too common, on the end of say, pprune.org/military/poster/Steve Smith etc., and it's likely to out perform Prune's search.

However, I'm not that good at searching, so don't know about spaces in names etc.

By the way, nice of you to be putting this effort in for the family.

Is this what you wanted, or something deeper into the thread list?

Put anything with a space in it, in double quote marks (inverted commas) "Steve Smith".

Rossian, the following search will find what you are after ...

Google search - pprune: (Steve Smith)

Thanks chaps...

...your suggestions worked.

Just need a bit of tidying up and the girls should be good to go.
