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)

Subject: Searching the archives

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?
