On Groups.io these can be imported to each other to save the messages and still 
be able to search them more easily. 

Searching is a problem with all the data on everything. I was using the local 
public library today to find a book narrated or performed by Jean Smart. A 
search on Jean Smart returned tons of titles — any book recrod that contained 
“Jean" or “Smart”. Even when I limited the search to book title, I got a long 
messy list. The same thing is happening at Amazon. The maintenance is not being 
done.

I’ve started using Perplexity which is better at narrowing down searches.
