Actually, I thought that if a member didn't like the search results in the "current database" that they could go to the archive database and search that for older posts.

The forum I want this for is more if an information resource website so my posts could be something that a person might want to be able to search back into the past.

Am I really out in left field with thinking this would be a great addition?

Also, with the lite version it might also be possible to export the archives to a CD format (access database perhaps) so that a "year in review" could be published of the public threads. Yea, that would require some extensive work as well but once you get the public only threads the rest of the export and manipulation of the data should be possible.
