Try a regular Google search on these terms:


[ threadview "posted * nov 2004" site:answers.google.com ]


By changing the month to oct, sep etc -- and then changing the year as
well -- I think you can step back in time to retrieve pretty much all
the results.

Let me know if this works out.

Sorry pafalafa-ga but I had no luck!

I tried your suggestion...

This is what came up:

://www.google.com/search?q=%5B+threadview+%22posted+*+nov+2004%22+site:answers.google.com+%5D&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

pinkfreud-ga's answer on ID: 433691 was close to the target. What I
ultimately seek is the ability to create a bookmark on my bookmark bar
that with one click I am brought to a page from which I would be able
to scroll down over all posted answers and then click right back to
the beginning of GA. I would love to see a button on the GA home page
that would make it easy for all of us who check in regularly to view
the fruits of the Researchers efforts.

Thank you very much for working on this question

Uzzz

Hi uzzz,

Using Pinkfreud's instructions, I was able to get answers from as far
back as April 2002.

http://answers.google.com/answers/search?q=-&qtype=answered&num=100&sort=qestartts%3AA%3AR%3Ad1

First, I selected "Answered Questions" from the drop down box, and I
used a dash (-) as my search term.

Next, I put the list of results in chronological order by clicking the
Date Column (underlined in blue).

I clicked the Date Column a second time, and this reversed the list of
answered questions, putting a question from April 2002 at the top.

I don't think it is possible to go any further. Or perhaps I have
misunderstood your question.

All the best,

* j *

Juli,

Your method beats mine, since it gives the user a choice between
viewing the 1100 oldest answered questions or the 1100 most recently
answered questions, but it can't access the tens of thousands of
answered questions in between, can it?
Subject: Thank you for the two comments

Thank you julicollins-ga & pinkfreud-ga

By clicking on Price thousands more questions are found...

So somewhere the full archives do exist and are accessible. The
challenge remains how can we access them *all* sequentially?

I appreciate everyone's efforts to arrive at a solution.

Best regardzzz

Uzzz
