Hi Sherri and all...I tried the FreeFind search engine at the Clinton
County archives and it picked up my Bridwell surname in every KY county in
the Archives where I knew them to be.
I tried it at 8:15 Friday morning, April 25, so perhaps the indexing is
completed.

Hi Everyone,
Several have asked about the new Archives search engine and we've not had much info to
report. David Crosby had developed one, but the server hosting the Archives killed it as
they said it was tying up too much of the server load. They're trying to work
something out, but we don't have anything further at this time.
In the meantime, I've set up a KY Archives Search engine at Free Find. It's still
indexing our files, so not everything's there yet. I've got it set up on a
temporary page at
http://usgwarchives.org/ky/clinton/new_search.htm - ignore the fact that
it says to search the Clinton Co. Archives - it's set up for the entire state and also
ignore the link to search the entire USGenWeb Archives as I know it's an old one.
Please do some trial searches on this new search engine to see if we're getting
results that we should be. If it doesn't find something it should, please let me
know. Comments are welcome - that's why it's in a temporary home. If this
works, I'll send everyone the code to add it to your/their pages.
Thanks,
Sherri
