is it possible to search archived threads?


I don't see a way to do that,



Try going to the tech/archives forum and at the bottom do a search for say (brightside paint) it gave me a bunch but only out of the archives.
BTW I don't know if this only works for mods but give it a try.
I'd guess because of the size of that thread you are going to get a whole bunch of hits



Google is another alternative (possibly easier) for searching these threads (3 in all now).

Google allows you to limit a search to a specific site (i.e. "domain"). I've tried limiting the search to the specific URL for just one of our budget paint job threads, but it still returns results from anywhere in https://board.moparts.org/

Not a problem. You can still direct Google to search exactly where you want by specifying an exact phrase which ONLY exists in these threads. I use the exact phrase Paint job on a budget because that phrase appears in the title of every post in all 3 threads.

Here's the nitty gritty
Suppose you want to search for the word tremclad. Do the following...

Expert Mode:
Go to www.google.com and type the following line exactly as it appears in the search entry field:
tremclad "paint job on a budget" site:https://board.moparts.org/

For different searches, keep "paint job on a budget" site:https://board.moparts.org/ exactly the same, but vary the term(s) you are looking for in place of the word tremclad

Beginner Mode
Go to www.google.com. Click on the tiny Advanced Search link at the right. Then fill in the fields as follows:
