I had to search, since I couldn't remember when
<ban> et al. were discussed exactly.

Given that the English word ban might occur quite
often, I inserted (in order to click "Search Archive"):

"ban"+"pan" ("ban" or ban only will extract too many
messages)

Then a few clicks on "NEXT". "ban"+"zupan" and/or
"zhupan" also reveal some messages.

A mere ban+pan will result in this message:

<<No matches found in the messages searched.
