Hi, do you mean the search rootschat?
If so, you can put your keyword in such as: Cardiff etc and all posts will be shown with the keywords included.

Hope this helps you

That page has been on like that for 4 years to my knowledge.

Like everything else, FreeBMD/Cen it's volunteers transcribing and checking before it can go online.

I did contemplate transcribing for FreeCEN, but after it took me an hour to do one page gave up!!

Also all the software and codes you have to use. So I can understand why people would not maybe keep it up.

A labour of love I think.........
