    myself and 2 questions :))
 
 hi jeff,
 
 im not really shure if i understand you right, because of my limit
 english-abilities, but i think you mean something like a searchindex?
 i think its like the idea that nick had:
 for often searched terms like the pagenumbers or peoplenames like
 bacon or dee we create a table in the database where in one field
 the searchterm is stored and in the other field an array of all
 emailnumbers where you can find this searchterm is stored.
 if one types in the searchterm the system searches first in this
 table and if the term is not referenced there it searches the 
 whole database. if the term is listed, the system reads the array,
 fetches the emails referenced there and just need to give all emails 
 out to the browser. the referencing progress to build up the 
 indextable would be a simple cronjob running at night.
 
 we could use this also to build up a page with the indexlist, so one
 can easily click on it, like nick mentioned.
 for example you can have a list with all the page-numbers on it and
 so you can easily retrieve all informations i.e. for page f5v (or
 all informations about "bacon"). :)
 i would also precreate this information as a textfile at night 
 with a cronjob, so that one can simply download this information
 for offline reading (of course pdf is possible, but there a license
 for this is needed.)
 
 kind regards,
 sebastian

FWIW - i was also 'thinking' (dumb steve DUMB ha.ha) that one could
subdivide all listed archive data (into months etc.. 1-12/yr etc.) &
these could be on-line (individuALL PAGES) to _S E A R C H_ (& all
data remains intact - addy's "@-signs" included)) so, SEARCH ROBOTS
would have to go out of their way to break into say July.TXT.2003 or
Txt.7.03.DAT etc..  I personally have a 2-3 yr (recent?) "stock.pile"
of every list message here - but not the "way.back" stuff e.mails. &
just using a _"Find ON THIS PAGE"_ this dilution search is cut by
1/12//yrs and limited only by years as one wants to back up?

this way you hit _key.words_ "only" in your search/time period?

worse case? MOM, said "don't write it if you don't have anything nice
to say" or "SEE, you learned from researching" :-o?
 

if I have time I will try to put up a page that shows this
search function.


best to all

ps.. if computer guys (not me) are reading this, this format might be
used for an unknown of unknown 'anything' (in an unknown 'whatever') :
direction/anwser/parser = answer!  - COMPUTERS got to love 'em, Got to
HATE em! 

VMS can be done/decoded with a stick in the sand! BACK TO BASICS!!

'see' the FLOW - FOLD IT :-)
