Everything has changed

Another option, is to search for a bit of code, to see if it is found in any topic threads that did survive the forum move:

var baseName = origDoc.name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');

I agree that the new forum search feature is often useless.

In various scripts that I downloaded I noted the originating URL, never thinking that is would become unusable:

https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1031437

This URL is now useless.

In the short term, if I am lucky, I can Google the URL and I might be presented with a cache link. But how long will a Google cache last? I don't have time to trawl through all the scripts that I have, manually trying to match things up again with the new forum format.

If I am very lucky, the cache will present the old topic title... Which I never archived as I thought the URL was more important:

Script to rename file in Photshop (before naming)

Then if I'm really, really lucky, this name will be carried over to the new forum for searching, if it is from 2016 or later:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/Photoshop/Script-to-rename-file-in-Photshop-before-naming/td-p/10484764

This is not a great example, it is one of my fledgeling scripts... But what about all of the gold in these forums, from the likes of the late Michael Hale, Paul Riggott, xbytor, SuperMerlin, r-bin,  Kukurykus etc?

Lost.

Such a shame.

I just want to search for javascript , but now The retrieved information has nothing to do with javascript!

I hope someone can help me, my job is to write javascript, which has caused me a lot of trouble, I can not get the demo code!

I tried to search by google but jumped to this web page

Search on this site is not usable IMO try using google to search the web who knows it may find thing in this site the site search can not.

The old java site search still seems to be able to search old forums like Photoshop Scripting and find things however, any thing found than is more than a few years old the links will not work correct

There are still pdfs available.
