Just use a hashtag like this: #nrvo and a clickable URL will be be generated that'll search the newsgroups for 'nrvo'.

It doesn't work in Dfeed, mailing lists or newsreaders, just the archival pages:

   https://www.digitalmars.com/d/archives/digitalmars/D/

It relies on google indexing the pages regularly, which google doesn't do reliably.

Of course otherwise the new feature would be advertised by CyberShadow.
So it's a feature in your own NG archives.

That's right. But if it gets popular, I hope CyberShadow will add it to Dfeed!

Is this how it's intended to work? In other social media platforms, searching via hashtags brings you the other posts containing the hashtag as is instead of posts containing the word in the hashtag. Think of it as a label/topic added explicitly by the poster.

I know this is the usual behavior. But it doesn't help that nothing in the n.g. database is so tagged, so I made it just the word.

We can always tweak this as needed going forward.
