A Question about the New Packet Archive

Post by quizbowlchamp1 »

As many of you know, they have redone the Quizbowl Packet Archive. I use it extensively to practice at home. I was wondering: Is there a feature that can search packets individually? If you have the answer, please let me know. I would be extremely grateful. Thank you.

If you want to find the question in it's actual packet file, aseemsDB, is the better tool. You can select a specific set and then enter a keyword phrase to see if it was asked about. Then you can click a link that will take you to the actual packet file.

Agree with what Fred and Ben have said -- QBReader and aseemsDB are the best tools for searching the packet archive. It would be good to link to those from the archive pages.
