Thanks! > I'm glad you find cohousing-L useful and thanks for trying to locate an answer in the archives. But feel free to ask over the list too. I checked the search function for the CSF archives of cohousing-L (at: http://csf.Colorado.EDU/cohousing/ and found that it did work and found recent messages. (In my test I searched for "supervision". ) It does have some limitations tho which may have confused you. 1) It tends to report the oldest "hits" first. 2) It reports the same hits multiple files when they are found in various files (date, author ...). 3) It has a limit on what it reports -- hits in 100 files. Therefore if you search for a phrase that is common in the archives it will report only old hits. To get around this limitation, try to search for a different word that will get fewer, more relevant hits. Unfortunately it does not support more sophisticated searches (e.g. boolean). If anyone wants to volunteer to improve the search facility, please contact me. Fred, cohousing-L list manager -- Fred H.
