Jon Halsey suggests new search tool for CM

Jon Halsey writes:
While searching for an obituary published earlier this year it occurred to me that it would be extremely helpful to be able to search the archive by name. Is that a future possiblilty?

I would think genealogists, or nosy busybodies like myself. would be especially appreciative.

Given young Pen's multiplicity of talents I would think if it could be done - he could do it. - Jon Halsey
Thanks, Jon Halsey: It's ironic how great minds (yours and Pen's) work the same way. I'd never thought of this possibility, but Pen announced just a few days ago that he's working basically this idea. Archival research availability was a goal of CM early on, but with the accelerated growth in up to the minute news, financial resources have held back this aspect. (My job is to find sponsors to pay for and make innovations possible - but that looks probable). I like the idea because it will save so much time for our readers. That's a primary goal here. We'll let readers know when the search is ready.
