If you want to quickly check (with some accuracy) if there is (or was) a site with a certain word in the domain or subdomain, enter it in the Wayback Machine search box.

It may help you find useful historical (or current) resources on some really obscure topics.

Thanks.
This is less of "how to use the Wayback Machine", and more as "You can use it for this general need".

But I'll link to it there, sure.

If you need to find something in TPFC forums and the forum search isn't being helpful, add "site:portablefreeware.com/forums" to a Google query.
