I need help searching through articles on LUGNET!!

How do I specify that I want to search for an exact phrase?  Do I enclose the
phrase in quotes or parentheses?  Something else?

Can I look up articles by specifying a date?  If so, how do I do that?  I've
found using >2000 will limit my search to articles written after 2000...any
examples of how to look up specific dates or date ranges?

Can I search for a post by the author's name?

I lost and confused...please help.

BTW, a link to search stategies from the main LUGNET page would help out those
of us who don't come by this sort of thing naturally :)

(...) OK, lemme see about putting together some docs. As ++Lar once mentioned, we need context-sensitive help here. If I make some help pages, they can be linked to from various spots. Keep your eyes peeled for help links. --Todd (24 years ago, 31-Jan-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.admin.general)
