Is the search feature really working correctly?
On the few occasions when I have attempted to use it, I have done a search
of the AppleScript-Users archive according to instructions. But when I use
my web browser's find-in-file command to locate the exact place where the
found search term appears, the browser reports "not found."
In general, searches seem always to yield references to a digest, which is
very long, contains many individual messages, and does not obviously respond
to my search terms.
And the 5- or 6- line summary that appears in the list of "hits" contains
generally useless information -- apparently the beginning of the digest
rather than an excerpt showing the context of the found search term.
I find this search capability to be generally unhelpful.
Am I somehow misusing it?
