Hi Jeff,
my most pressing problem is handling the international characters. Its so
serious that even though I now have a fully-working list archive with full
graphical customization(!) I haven't announced it publicly as the support
burden would be too high. There are lots of words with å, æ and ø in them!
That said I also miss word-group searching, currently all words are ANDed in
spite of any grouping attempts.
regards,
/Dan

I received the following question, and am replying to gossip as
it is general interest.
how do I research early messages from a list where all I know
is the name(s) of the probable author(s) and some idea of
the approximate date?
Is this a common frustration? I'm trying to guage demand for
this sort of thing.
If this is a problem, what would be the preferred solution:
an "advanced search" with more sophisticated controls?
bringing back history pages, more search results?
better integration a site specific google search?
something else?
Do you have a list of hints on how to use the search function
effectively?
The search form queries htdig 3.1.6 and I think is set to a simple
AND query - all terms may be present. How strong is demand for
boolean queries (Jeff AND NOT Breidenbach) or other more advanced
query options?
Thanks in advance for feedback.
-Jeff
