Thanks for the reply. I did some more research it it is pretty clear that there really is something wrong with the search tool... Lets call this message A: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?db=mid&id=199911111407.JAA20011@rwwa.com Message A has the word "userconfig" in the subject and the text of the messages, and the string "withrow" in the headers. Search in questions, sorted by date, getting 25 results, for the word "userconfig". Right now, #22 is my mail message A above. Notice the date listed for the message: 22.Robert Wit Userconfig settings still not saved in 3.3R? Score: 566; Lines: 43; 30-Aug-1996; Archive: freebsd-questions Re-run this query asking for "userconfig AND withrow". Right now, #3 is my mail message A above. Notice the date for the *same* mail message this time: 3.Robert Wit Userconfig settings still not saved in 3.3R? Score: 566; Lines: 43; 12-Nov-1999; Archive: freebsd-questions I think something weird is happening in the search utility that is corrupting dates! For even more fun, search for "withrow" varying the number of results allowed. The date of message A changes each time! 5.Robert Wit Userconfig settings still not saved in 3.3R?

Any idea what's wrong? -- Robert Withrow -- (+1 978 288 8256) BWithrow@BayNetworks.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-www" in the body of the message
