The Apple List search is fine as long as you are not looking for stuff older than Sept 2005. On the last problem I had I spent a week going around in circles as did not know the search was broken and was looking at posts that were talking about older versions of the API.
Anyway now I know I won't make the same mistake again.
Thanks,
Darrell.

I disagree. I am always using the Apple List search because I don't
initially want all the extra stuff that Google finds. Of course I
usually end up on Google anyway...
