I think it would be nice to be able to search conversations between two
different posters. I know I can find all of my old posts, but sometimes being
able to see just the exchanges I have had with another poster would be
very handy! Even being able to see conversations between two different
people would be nice.

grep and findstr quite a bit. Does it allow for searches like that and add in
another field? I know how to search within a specific file for two different

findstr "value1 value2" file_whatever > c:\temp\findvalue1_2.txt
This would help finding a specific conversation looking up a key word.

einstein relativity "god does not play dice"
...and get a bunch of articles with all of those terms in them. The quotes mean that the words within must be in that order. "Einstein" and "relativity", however, can be anywhere on the page - far apart from one another, even (it does tend to list matches with terms close together higher on the results list.)
