There’s a powerful new way to dig up dead websites and posts that have been deleted – The Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine

It can be hard to find sites that have disappeared from the Internet. But the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine is on the verge of rolling out a feature that will make tracking down dead websites much easier, according to Internet Archive founder Brewster Kahle.

The Wayback Machine has been helping people see past Internet sites over the past 15 years, but searchers always needed to know the URL of a website to find the archived copies. Soon, however, you’ll be able to use keyword searches to find old websites — in fact, you can already test it out through a public beta https://web-beta.archive.org/
