Ted,
I use this http://marc.info/?l=elecraft and check
subjects in most cases. Seems to work well.

The question in general is how best to search the reflector archives. The most direct
way is a word search, aided by a very limited form of Boolean analysis through the
"Advanced Search" function. But I find that clunky, and not very useful for
topics that don't have predictable or uniform vocabularies. It risks both sorts of
errors - overinclusion and under inclusion. I am not unfamiliar with search strategies
in general, having spent the better part of a lifetime dealing with legal and health
sciences databases of almost every conceivable kind. Almost all of the better ones are
both Boolean and topical, which the reflector archives are not - unless I am missing
something. So, just wondering how those who use the reflector archives navigate through
them . . . for example, for a subset of a broader topical search. Any secrets you'd be
willing to share? Thanks,
Ted, KN1CBR
