searching the archives (how to)

[auditude at cox.net]

I am certainly no expert at searching the archives.  However, here is how I find the more recent posts.

When you put in the search term, also type "+audifans.com/pipermail/quattro", or whatever particular mailing list you want to search.  This will for whatever reason get you the new stuff.

Not putting that specific path seems to get the older stuff only.  As for why, I have no idea.

Hth,

Greg,

I had the same issue a few days ago when searching for Marc Swanson's posts
from last year and found none as well... I thought it was me but actually no...

Who can tell us WTH is going on?


Thanks,

Mihnea
