    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,

    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?
