As has been said in many ways and by many persons on this list, there are
many great suggestions and solutions being posted to this list.  Also, often
the discussions drift from the original subject and the subject title does
not get changed.  Many users, it would seem, would rather ask a question
than try and find the answer in the archive.  I, for one, was one who did
try to see if my questions had been answered and that answer resided in the
archive.  After a while, I too found that searching the archive to be way
too cumbersome and time consuming.  If, however, a full text search engine
could be installed on the archive, one could search for the subject they are
interested in quite quickly and without regard for the actual subject titles
of the messages.  This could reduce the number of posts on the same subjects
(of course this would depend on the amount of usage) and could be a big step
towards that resource database that was discussed a few weeks ago.
