Any way to make the Archived posts Google searchable?

[redbeard1]

I've created some posts that I have tried to find using the Google "site:" search feature to limit my query to look only at forums.anandtech.com. I have not been able find these archived posts using this method.

Is there some way to get these old posts searchable from the outside?

My guess would be google has not indexed them yet. I do not see anything in the head of the HTML that tells spiders that the page should not be indexed. They may not be linked any where either, because google can only index what it can get to from another page.

Is this possible with the way the archives are setup?

Fusetalk was never very search engine friendly. Technically you should be able to search printable versions of threads but they never really implemented it properly. Replace messageview.aspx with textthread.aspx in the address bar and you'll see what I mean. A search engine will never find this because the print thread links are written in javascript.
