Well in my case I came up with an easy solution, which I realize wont
necessarily helpful to everyone who needs to search the archives but I knew
who the
contact was whose conversations I needed to search, and I narrowed the time
frame down to a ten day period. The conversations were long, so a visual
search could have taken hours even with it narrowed down but i copied and
pasted them into yahoo emails which i sent to myself, then it was simple to
find using the email search.

Y! Messenger does save3 chats. But I guess you do have to use anpther
utility to decode them into a text file... which of course can be searched.

I don't think so. The actual files that are saved in the Yahoo Messenger
Program Folder are saved as .dat files (data files) and are written in
computer code. When opening the archives with the YM program, it decodes
the .dat files into readable text but if you open one of the .dat files with
any other program (WordPad, NotePad, Word, etc.), there is just what appears
to be jibberish in the document.
I believe programs like AIM and Windows Live Messenger actually save the
chat sessions as a document which can be searched but not Yahoo Messenger.

I know messenger archives are stored on my computer, is there any way to
search for a word or words within them?
