Thanx John,
It works a treat, and I found what I was looking for.

John,
Glad you pointed that out because I didn't realise it was there, but yes as Cat says, I'm more enquiring if its possible to search 'content' as opposed to topic titles.
A while back somebody posted a link somewhere within a topic and I'm looking for that particular link but cannot find it.
Thanks 

I've recently been searching thru some of the old topics on here looking for a specific post from about 18 months ago...and so far to no avail.

So,my question is... how simple would it be to add a "search" box facility into the site so that older "topics" could be found more easily...?
