I haven’t seen a search button anywhere on any page.  
I’m looking for an old Threadspotting link about how deeply the salt in the oceans would cover the moon, or some such thing, and I can’t find it in the archive section. Thanks for any help, or if anyone can link me to that.

Of course, once you become a paying member, we show you where the “search” button is. 🙂

Ah, thank you very much.  
That makes sense, I guess.  
I don’t suppose it’s worth me looking for the search page? 🙂 (That could take quite a while. ☹ )
