The question in general is how best to search the reflector archives. The most direct way is a word search, aided by a very limited form of Boolean analysis through the "Advanced Search" function. But I find that clunky, and not very useful for topics that don't have predictable or uniform vocabularies. It risks both sorts of errors - overinclusion and under inclusion. I am not unfamiliar with search strategies in general, having spent the better part of a lifetime dealing with legal and health sciences databases of almost every conceivable kind. Almost all of the better ones are both Boolean and topical, which the reflector archives are not - unless I am missing something. So, just wondering how those who use the reflector archives navigate through them . . . for example, for a subset of a broader topical search. Any secrets you'd be willing to share? Thanks,
