NH2 Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Sue & I are trying to locate past articles in the Escapees Magazine archives but came up empty. We logged into the escapees.com site and used the search field but got no results for words I know I've read imbedded in previously published articles. I also tried an advanced search for the word "solar" and tried again with "solar panels" but again, nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mike and Claudia Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Try doing the same thing on GOOGLE. You are likely to get the ESCAPEE articles and well as a LOT of others. Traveling America in "God's Grace" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skp51443 Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 NH2, are you trying the website search tool, up in the top right corner? I don't think it searches the magazine contents. I don't think the back issues are open to the public or open to the search engines so they are not going to help. If you click the "view articles" here: https://escapees.com/benefits/magazine-archive/2015-archive You get a page that gives the contents and has another search box on the black divider graphic: https://escapees.com/articles-and-blogs/tags/tag/september-october-2015 That gave me hits on Solar going back to 2008.

NH2 Posted September 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Stan, Thanks for your help. The page you linked (second link) brought me to a search feature that worked like a charm but not for magazine articles—or at least none that I could see.After logging in, I began using the box in the upper-right corner of the Escapees home page but when it came up with "No Results" it popped open this window which I interpret as having the ability to search keywords in past issues of the Escapees magazine.

skp51443 Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I thought the place you show might too but it wasn't working for me either. I'd call the club office and ask for the computer support folks as they should be able to either help you or fix something if it is broken.

NH2 Posted September 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Well, the final word is... Can't be done.I called the SKP's office to describe my issue with searching for articles in back issues of the Escapee's Magazine. Kelly kindly took my call but told me there is no way to search for topics within the magazines. Hmmm. I would think that new members would find it quite valuable to search topics covered in past issues. Sue and I are interested in writing articles for our magazine but hesitate to do so as we don't know if a particular topic had been covered 4 months ago, 4 years ago or never at all. I tried using Google Advanced Search as it is a tool used to search for topics/keywords within a specific domain. Sure, I was able to get results for the forum but not the magazine. I wonder why this hasn't come up before?
