I wasn't even aware of this. Mostly because the UT search results rarely show up as a result to FoxPro issues.Nobody will end up on the UT by accident and start browsing which severely limits the traffic that would have come through here. For example, look at the search result that you link to. You can't see anything else on the page - so nobody is going to look around beyond the immediate link.
The other issue is that you can't easily link topics. The frames based UI doesn't make URL linking easy.
Don't get me wrong - the UT has always been a great resource and still is. The UI itself is very usable once you're here and logged in, it's just not search/sharing friendly. It could have been a lot more if it had been open all those years.
It hardly matters at this point with the core constituency shrinking to practically nothing (same as what I see on West Wind message board so this isn't unique to UT :-))

>>The UTs problem is that it's not open and never was so content was never indexed. The only search you can do here is via limited search through the UT UI which while decent isn't anywhere as intuitive or flexible what you would get if the content was indexed through a search engine.

They index everything that is public, thus the messages, but when a user clicks on a message from a Google search, the entire interface will load as this will come from a user and not a robot.
