  Try narrowing your search, or use the e-mail method for searching - much faster and more reliable.  Send e-mail to the listserv address.  Example:

  SEARCH VANAGON variable1 AND variable2 

  I think you can get pretty creative with Boolean statements, too. 

  You will receive a message back from Gerry with a listing of all the messages that match.  You then send back a message to Gerry like this:

  GETPOST VANAGON item1 item2 item3 item4 

  the "items" above will be numbers that reference the different posts 

  works every time for me. 

  The only time I use the html search engine is when I am searching for a specific date range or a specific author (like looking up someone's e-mail address)

  Cheers,

  I've tried a number of times to search the archives - every time it bombs out on me after 3-4 minutes ...Is it something I'm doing or is this a known problem - is there anyone is particular that I should contact?
