Topband: The archives search function doesn't work right

The search function at Searchable Archives
http://www.contesting.com/_topband does not seem to work as well as in the
past.

The search operators on this How To Search page no longer seem to work:
http://lists.contesting.com/archives//cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?idxname=Topband

For example, these queries don't work right.
ohmite not beverage [it thinks "not" is one of the search terms, not a
search operator]
(static and resistor) not terminating
ohmite not (beverage or Terminating)

I tried many others, and could not find the older threads that I was
looking for.

Finally, though, I got "Static bleeder" (without the quotation marks) to
work. :-)

Perhaps some software on the server has been upgraded and the search script
needs to be edited.
