If you click on "Search" in the "Menu" box (normally top right), you get the searcdh interface. With a pull-down menu, you can select dsifferent searches, including diaries by author handle same for frontpager stories, and comments. Or, alternatively, a search term in all diaries/FP stories/commnts. If you enter no search term at all, you can get a list of all diaries.

Thanks.  I had viewed that search feature but didn't think of some of the approaches you suggest.  I am used to looking through tables of content, index and bibliography.  Sometimes I remember a Diary title, usually not fully, sometimes not at all, but I could pick it out of a list.  Same for tags.  I'll just have to noodle around.  My biggest problem is when I remember who posted something, but they haven't posted recently.  I have no easy way to get to their homepage.

One thing I forgot to note: there is a checkbox for Archive search. Diaries (and their comments) older than 1 month are archived. If you check the checkbox, the search is only in the archive, if you don't check it, then only in the active diaries. (Search is not the most user-friendly feature of SCOOP, I hope we can do better in an upgrade of ET.)

Thanks.  I am one of those benighted individuals, who, if there is a way, especially with software, I will screw it up.  At least I haven't been able inadvertently to crash they system, yet.
