One erratum for the excellent Listserv Database discussion: the
search arguments are character strings and not (key)words i.e.,
the search operates on the target as one big string of undelimited
characters so that your search arguments may find a "hit" in the
middle of a word.

Thank you, Jean Veronis, for your great explanation of how to do searches
of the archived database at a LISTSERV. Would that you were writing
software manuals for a living!
