    This is nice to have, as I frequently go back to past posts, and generally have to comb through subject lines in my inbox to do so!

      The search box above works pretty good. But also doing a regular Google search works remarkably well. If you can remember the topic or just a bit of the headline, type that in and then add the word "wild". It's how I sometimes have to find things.

      In general, adding "wild" to any Houdini search will bring you right to a relevant post here.

      Thanks - yes, I do use the search too, but the actual headline is helpful to see because it jogs my memory and helps me recall what it was I wanted to look at in a particular post (which at times is unrelated to the headline). All good!
