I need to search for a string of text in my Yahoo! Messenger 11 chat history.
When I view the history using Yahoo! Messenger, all I can do I cycle through past conversations one by one. I remember being able to search through an entire log with a Ctrl-F-style interface, but that seems to be gone.
Well, you can hit Ctrl+F, but it only searches the chat logs you have loaded on the screen, not the entire history. Since I need to search for something in a conversation that took place a year ago, going though every single log one by one is not going to happen.
What is the physical path to the log file on my computer?

I believe with the latest version of Yahoo! Messenger, (I think that's 11.) Yahoo! now stores your conversation history online. You can access it from the Yahoo! Mail interface.
