Hi, sorry if this sound like a silly question, but I'm tying to search a forum on a site that is not searchable. The forum is not indexed in search engines like Google so I can't search there either. I was wondering if there is any way to search a forum like that, with a program maybe or a site downloader.
Ever heard of something like that, or maybe you have another suggestion?
Thank you

If the forum is not indexed and robots are kept away from the site then it's generally not searchable.
You could download the site, but that might be too much trouble than its worth. Are you sure it's not indexed anywhere?

I tried several search engines and it's not indexed. I could go to the trouble of downloading the site... But how can I search the site after?

if you can download the site and you have dreamweaver you can:
1) Define the documents (web pages) as a web site in dreamweaver
2) Do a search acros the entire site.

Once you download it locally, you could (if Windows), right-click on the directory, select Search, and use Window's built-in search tool -- the same one you would use to find a file on your hard drive. They have a special "Containing text" field that looks at the contents of files (not just the file name).
