  1. He doesn’t seem to be disallowing it specifically (as of just now he has a disallow “/” – as of the archive’s copy he has a disallow of “/search” but not everything so I don’t see why the archive doesn’t have anything of that date.

    Lots of matching searches though, a bit of an obsession, methinks.
