RW>It's nice to be able to enter a conference area and search for old items.. 
But it sure
RW>would  be nice if there was a way to do a System-Wide search of all message
areas. I
RW>know it would be system intensive, but consider this..

RW>When you have 50 or more message areas and you're trying to find the recipe
for Texas
RW>barbecue sauce but you don't remember whether you posted it in the Good
Housekeeping
RW>area, or the Budget Gourmet area, or the Unique Cooking With Style area... 
so then you
RW>have to go into each area and repeat the search..

RW>By doing a global search similar to the way you can when looking for files,
this would
RW>prevent you from forgetting to search an area.

RW>Something to consider adding in the future.. heck it might even pay to use
the same
RW>search code but add a checkbox for a global search, or just an area search..


Hi Rick,

I have not tried the new wcNav program yet, but the old wcNavigator
allowed you to search all checked message areas for information.  Have
you tried that yet?  Use it and click on messages and then do a search
via which ever conferences you choose and see if you can find your
Bar-B-Que Sauce.

Rick
