Is the epicurious search gone? (m)

[annnova]

I just tried to do a search (for recipes at Gail's)and there is no longer a page for that. If this has been discussed I must have missed it. Have we lost all those recipes at Gail's forever?

Looks like the old Kitchen Seek has been replaced with the following: Just use the dropdown

menu, and choose "Gail's."

Oh, oh...I'm searching for some of my older posts and not finding them....

bummer, I knew I should have copied those essays out when I had the chance.

(Insert your favorite swear/mad word here)! The early archives are inaccessible through

the Search function currently on the Epi forums. The only way to reach those was through the Old Kitchen Seek, or the direct link to the archives, both of which are now not available.

With a little perseverance, I found one from 2001, so I think they're there....

but I had to have the EXACT wording....even putting Boolean restrictions on searches found anything and everything remotely similar.

It doesn't help that I used variations of "Marilyn in FL" for the majority of my posts.

There are several that I can't find, but I'll check tonight against hard copies and search again.

I think (hope) they'll be back up this afternoon after the new Epi Chat goes online.

I'm a little worried about the recipe boxes. I had to change my name there. Dh rescued my recipes

just in case.

Can you find anything from before 2000?

 

[marilynfl]

Oh dear, I've been searching on some posters from my early years

and NOT coming up with anything prior to 2000.

"e in SF"
"claire in kelsey"
"haramid"

This only seems to work in the search field. It doesn't work in the User name.

Nor can I find any of my earliest posts.

If you're really desperate you can go to the waybackmachine or some other web archives.

I found the archives from 2004 and previous - some of the links work, but not all of them. However COMN within this archive seems to work. It doesn't look like the search function works. It's not ideal, but it is possible to snoop around in them with a bit of work.

Hi Carol. Thanks for this information, but I don't follow you... maybe because it's Friday

but I am lost. How do you search GRS from this one batch of archived posts? Is there somewhere to type in search terms?

How did you get to that archived page? Thanks.

What epi is doing, stinks!!
