is there a way to search r.a.s for keywords?


Remember that r.a.s is a USENET forum which means a distributed network of servers carrying all this stuff, and what you can or can't do with messages is largely dependent on the client you are using to access that USENET newsgroup. It looks like are posting from the Glider Pilot Network, I'm not sure what is provided there. Maybe others can help you.

Most USENET NNTP clients (like Mozilla Thunderbird) provide good local search capabilities, which means you can search on just about anything in the messages that are downloaded to your client. It can also search on things based on header fields on the server. And you can also do some pretty complex filtering based on fields, which may be useful for finding posts.

Google Groups also provides good Web based search. Go to the "Search for topics" field and pull down the small down-arrow. There is more search capabilities hidden there... make sure you scroll all the way down in the search window that appears, you can search for keywords in the whole article using the "Has the words" field, that is not just searching the Subject field as the UI might seem to suggest.

Really advanced search is available to folks who have direct access to a USENET server. and want to custom write code :-) But that type of search is rarely needed.
