Dan, I maintain the WWW page, which includes the archive search.
Improving the search engine is on my list of things to-do, but it hasn't
been done yet. Basically there's a WAIS server that indexes and
searches the archive files, and something called SFgate that is an
interface between WAIS and the WWW page. I don't know anything about
either of those so there's a steep learning curve to make this change.
If there's a WAIS or SFgate expert somewhere on the list, then speak up
'cause this is somewhere that I could use some help.
