I'm confused:

If I search in questions for the string "withrow" I get this message:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?db=irt&id=00ca01bf2d24$4dfc0da0$fba3f9cf@megared.net.mx

But I don't find this message (which the previous one is a reply to, and
was authored by me, "withrow"):

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?db=mid&id=199911111407.JAA20011@rwwa.com

And if I search for "userconfig" I don't find either one of them, even 
though both messages have that string in the subject and the text.

Seems like the search tool is either un-intuitive, or un-reliable.

PS:  In the above, searching for "Withrow" instead of "withrow" or
"Userconfig" instead of "userconfig" doesn't change things.
