Question

Can I search an archive of past questions asked on OS?

Answer 1

@Jaynator495 made a search tool i can't seem to find it however if you copy and paste your question into google you might get lucky and find an OS link with the same question :-)

Answer 2

Ah, too bad. Pitty not have some kind of an archive. I was viewing a question in Math yesterday and would like to revisit it. There is no way for me to find it now.

Answer 3

Do you remember what it was? Or the user who asked it?

Answer 4

it was about evaluating an expression tanA + tanB with a few givens along with it. Just wanted to see it again. How would I go about finding it?

Answer 5

i don't recall the username

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 20

Thanks @Jaynator495 . It seems this feature would really be a powerful addition to the OS site, fully integrated. There are so many repeating patterns - I can imagine tons of questions are directly answerable by retrieval of archived stuff.

Eventually ill implement a faster version of these search tools into it.
