We can then comprehensively search the text of the downloaded articles. The Microsoft Developer Blogs integreated search tool hardly works to find what you're looking for in my experience (also, the search button is broken on Firefox). Microsoft Developer Blogs has RSS feeds but they only store back to the few most recent articles. The Developer Blogs site uses WordPress (on the WP Engine platform, according to the HTTP X-Powered-By response header), so we cannot pull from a public GitHub repo either. Google can be hit-or-miss (especially for technical terms). Hence, this fully local solution provides the most effective way to search articles by first parsing the website's HTML and grabbing each one individually. This script was originally made for learning about the Windows loader from the perspective of Microsoft Windows developers (since they may have extensive and insider Windows experience, potentially including writing the code or source code access). To get started quickly with searching Old New Thing articles (typically covering Win32/NT), I have provided the pre-downloaded copies here to save everyone some time (up-to-date as of April 22, 2025).
