I have tried several work-arounds to use the search function but they are all a challenge, too much effort for too little return. One that does get a few is to use the advanced search function type tech links in the search for box, check titles only and my name for posted by. you will get several returns for tech week contenders, one or two of which actually made it to the archives. you can also search for build index again by me and you will get a list of all build threads with links current as of the original post's date.
You can also use Google and put Jalopy Journal in the search line as well. This seems to work better for me by giving me more relevant results.
