Well, of course you can search - but the you need to know what to dearch for. If you have no idea what to look for, then a text file listing all the options that onces existed might be helpful to focus your search - say, on specific board names and such. That was the idea behind README.scrapyard - give you information what you could use as search anchors for closer investigations.
