Hi
Yes, I did make a decision to not allow archiving (and have code to that affect). I'm not entirely sure why Google is still bringing up some stuff, though.
I have a lot of reasons, ranging from the fact that the majority seem to prefer it to the fact that I use my real name here, but I don't plan to change my policy on this issue.

In case anyone thought otherwise: No post of mine was any attempt to get WWWendy or any other applicable person to change VF policy on this score, and I respect the reasons that others have written in this thread.
I'm OK with being in the minority.  In fact, if I didn't get the impression that I needed to explain some points from my "side" (if we must have sides), I wouldn't have posted in the first place.

 (When the VF search was working lucidly for a brief period recently, I compared it to some search engines. When it works, the VF search works much better. I found some threads that I thought had been deleted!)I have more thoughts that I'll probably post later, but the gist is my views from 18 years ago haven't substantially changed, and I wish that this forum had taken a far different course.

i use Google to search for subject matter in VF all the time. I'm glad it's still available, especially in these tenuous times with the forum.
