I find myself referencing old PM's often, but when you have over 20 pages of old messages... it's a pain in the ass to search through them all.

What I usually do is sort by sender name and then advance through the list alphabetically, page by page. This is a tedious task and would be resolved through some sort of a search engine.

Is this possible to enable search functionality in the IP.Board software or as plug-in?

Oh how the search functionality in Gmail has spoiled me.

That'd be a nice feature but it's not available currently through the software. Google has indeed spoiled you but we love Google!

I've gotten around this issue by downloading the PMs to your local PC and then letting windows search stuff for me.

Hmmm.... interesting Bruce. I never noticed that you could download your PM's through the archive function. Do you compile the data as an Excel file or HTML?

I find the HTML more readable a format.
