1. Improved Mailing List Search
Junko has just uploaded a new, improved
search facility for this mailing list. It's at:
http://www.rapideuphoria.com/listserv.htm
The new features are:
1. You can specify a range of months, rather than years.
For example, you can limit the search to just the last
month, or the last few months. Previously you had to select
all of 2001.
2. You can specify the poster of a message.
Suppose you remember that Derek Parnell posted
an informative message. You can specify: parnell
as the poster, and the search engine will only look at
messages with "parnell" in the From: line.
With almost 35,000 messages since June 1996,
it helps to be able to narrow down what you are
searching for.
The keyword searching works as before.
The search engine computes a score for each eligible
message based on how many keywords are matched.
Matching a lot of different keywords is more important than
matching one keyword many times.
Topica also provides a search on their Web interface,
but it only goes back to Jan 2001, and I don't think it's as good
