Then search in the general page switching between dates, under the tab Site Map there is a diagram that looks like an onion, with layers.
And also search the listed URLs related to that page.
Also combine searching in the archive.org with the TOR browser, that way you gain deeper access to the archived content.
Try experimenting with these two:
