On Each CD Courier Archive there is a copy of the Courier Technical Directory (unlike the Mag issues themselves THESE are Searchable as follows)
Launch the Tecnical Directory 1980 to 2005 in Adobe Acrobat. On Later Update Disks there is an updated Directory and finally an Index. In the Acrobat Top Panel there is a FIND Box Type in this Box the Technical Subject you are interested in (Say "Tuning") then press enter. This will search the Directory for any instance of the Word "Tuning". KEEP Pressing Enter and it will Keep finding the NEXT instance or article on Tuning Make a Note of the Page Number, Month, Year and Issue Number so you can Find that specific issue on all of the archive CDs IE (13/60 Tuning ........ P32 Jun 96 No. 192) .This is Not Laborious and is fact quite Quick to find a subject you want try typing a specific like "Hood Fitting"
So The Mag Archive IS Searchable on the CD and you also have access to ALL Couriers immediately to hand.
Hope this helps
