Been awhile since I stopped by, but I can't see how I can search the forums. Help (new again) noob?

There isn't really a way. Moderators have the ability to access an entire subforum in a page and Ctrl-F through the post titles. If you are looking for something specific I could link it.

The next-best thing, I am told, is to search "site: bloomilk.com/forums [what you're looking for]" on the search engine of your choice. Though I haven't had a lot of success with that method.

Unfortunately, the search engines seem to no longer index all the posts in the forums. They used to, which made general google searches work pretty well.

I'm not sure why, but yahoo and bing do a much better job than Google for indexing. If you use the "site:bloomilk.com" search using them, you'll get more hits than Google.

So, you may be able to search for some content through chatgpt. My understanding is it has information up until 2021, and it is able to answer swm questions. I believe it might have scraped these forums.
