Thank you. Now and then I get messages posted in 2004,
but none of those posted in previous years.
Let's take "gwen etymology", message no. 4917; I get
no result if I arrange the words this way:
"gwen etymology"
gwen etymology
"gwen"
gwen
whereas:
etymology -> gives this result:
"Searched Messages 35607-35300 of 35607 Previous Next"
"etymology"
"Searched Messages 35607-35341 of 35607 Previous Next"

Now and then I get some messages containing "gwen" if I hit "Next"
many a time. But no intermediary/"preview" information whatsoever,
so I am not given the hint that I'll have to click "Next" as many
times as to reach the message #4917 (quite a long way from
#35607).
Last year or at least until 2 years ago, the search engine
retrieved (almost) everything according to the selected keywords
and put the messages in continuous lists, chronologically.
