Note that at the end it specifies what format it expects. The Date/Time included in there seems to be what the "Jump" button at the bottom of the search page sets. For displaying a single thread it probably doesn't matter. > The 20380101 looks to be a default date that's far in the future.

That seems to be formatted like ..html . The date/time in that case corresponds to the date that the thread was started. There is a similar syntax for the /message if we wanted to be able to link to a specific message. Is it more useful to have the search view for the thread or the the tree view for the thread? - Eric > > Pat > > On Sun, Feb 6, 2011 at 11:05 AM, Ken Conley wrote: > > This does sound useful.
