Hi all.

Re: slow searches on Vanagon archives. I generally search subject line only. It speeds up searches. Even when searching through a number of years. Works well for common topics. Especially if you know what terms to use. (see below)

A suggestion (one I *try* to follow --- ;^)

Make subject of email sent, clear.

I'll bet there's awesome info in threads with unclear or "clever" subjects. (not knocking "clever")

Is there a Vanagon.com page with Vanagon/Westy terms (slang and correct)? As a newb, I had to learn some of the terms used on this list. I'm sure I'm not alone.

i.e. "Refer" = fridge. "LP" = liquid propane. etc.

Would upgrading the Vanagon server hardware really make searches faster?

I understand it may be a hassle to do, but count me in to donate a little $ if this will help.

If it requires an "intervention", well, don't count me in! --- ;^)

Cheers,

Neil.
