Note: Messages are added to the archive as they arrive, the search database is updated daily at 11:20pm.

The "Search Results" area displays a total of ALL hits in ALL found documents. "Results" area displays total number of documents that contain hits.

For more advanced searching you should select the "Boolean" Search Type in the search form.

mnoGoSearch understands the following boolean operators:

& - logical AND. For example, "mysql & odbc". mnoGoSearch will find any URLs that contain both "mysql" and "odbc". You can also use + for this operator.

| - logical OR. For example "mysql|odbc". mnoGoSearch will find any URLs that contain word "mysql" or word "odbc".

~ - logical NOT. For example "mysql & ~odbc". mnoGoSearch will find URLs that contain word "mysql" and do not contain word "odbc" at the same time. Note that ~ just excludes given word from results. Query "~odbc" will find nothing! You can also use - for this operator.

() - group command to compose more complex queries. For example "(mysql | msql) & ~postgres". Query language is simple and powerful at the same time. Just consider query as usual boolean expression.

To perform a search for a phrase, select the "Boolean" search type and enclose your phrase in quotes ( ' or " ):

Search for: 'quick reply'

You can also combine your phrase with other single search terms or phrases:

Search for: 'quick reply' & network & opposed
Search for: 'quick reply' & 'network segment'

To search by From email address you should treat each section of the address as a seperate word. Remove @ and .'s and -'s. Select the "Date/From" section

To search for user@example.com you should use user example com
For sample-user@example.com you should use sample user example com

You may use as much or as little of the email address as you wish, you may also combine with phrase style searches or Date searches.

To search for a message by date sent you should select the "Date/From" section of the search form and enter your search string:

Apr 23 2003 will search for all messages posted on April 23, 2003.
Apr 2003 will search for all messages posted in April 2003.

Month abbreviations may vary by originating email client. If you don't find what your looking for try other variations of the abbreviation.

You may also combine this search with phrase or From style searches.
