Searching the archives with google "doesn't work". Google, for whatever reason, doesn't completely index the archives. If you don't believe me, try searching at the link you gave for the terms: rockland maine

It won't find this message: http://gerry.vanagon.com/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=ind0307b&L=vanagon&F=&S=&P=46784

(Just a random message I picked browsing the archives.)

As far as I can tell, the majority of messages are actually not indexed by google.

The best thing I've come up with is to do what the original poster was trying to do: search by email. But the address for searching is listserv@gerry.vanagon.com, not vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com

Directions here: http://gerry.vanagon.com/info/searching.html
