Hello Laika, to search for older threads or lyrics in the database there are a few ways: On the Main Forum Page you will find:
a blue box at the left top corner: the Digitrad database search box (searches the database only)
the "Supersearch" a bit lower down (it says "Digitrad and Forum Search"). This will search messages and database
The Message Filter to the right of the supersearch. Type some keyword (something from the thread title) into the filter box and put select something from the Age box (this determines how far back the forum will be searched). This searches forum only.
