I forgot to post the EQ Archives search engine here, so I will.
https://search.eqarchives.org/
This search engine is an index of web archive and Usenet posts related to EQ. You can do a full text search of all old sites I captured at
https://github.com/dbsanfte/eq-archives and includes full Wayback machine links for every result. You can easily search for items, mobs, mechanics etc.
