Unfortunately, there is a major limitation in the archive search engine.
It can only search on message Subject, not message text.

It is common for a thread to drift onto other topics, yet retain the
original Subject.  Unfortunately, the new topic cannot be located by the
search engine because the Subject no longer reflects it.

If I am wrong, I would love to find out about it!

73, Dick
