===Searching archives===
Previous issues go back for several years to 2005, so it might be necessary to search the older issues to pinpoint some specific topics of interest.
:* [[WP:Wikipedia_Signpost/Archives]] - search all issues (all years)
:* [[WP:Wikipedia_Signpost/Archives/2009]] - index of 2009 & search
:* [[WP:Wikipedia_Signpost/Archives/2008]] - index of 2008 & search
:* [[WP:Wikipedia_Signpost/Archives/2007]] - index of 2007 & search
:* [[WP:Wikipedia_Signpost/Archives/2006]] - index of 2006 & search
:* [[WP:Wikipedia_Signpost/Archives/2005]] - index of 2005 & search
Note that each year index will link to the top-level ''Signpost'' pages, one for each issue, where each issue's technology report will be a link inside each of the top-level pages.
 
An example of a search would be to click "[[WP:Wikipedia_Signpost/Archives]]" and enter the word "parser" in the search-all field. The resulting search will show a list of the matching Signpost pages, each with a partial phrase containg the search term (in this case, the word "parser") as it appears within the text of each matching page.
