What this means is searches take longer unless you
restrict your
searches to a specific time frame. I would like to move
more archives
from IBM-MAIN to IBM-MAIN-ARCHIVES. What years do you guys
want to
remain on IBM-MAIN?
I don't search the archives that way. I'd normally
search via Google Groups. So you can take this as totally
immaterial or as valid commentary from a disinterested
party.
If it's possible to program the default Since date to
"current date minus n years", that could obviate the whole
question, except what 'n' should be. The comments I'm
seeing seem to show that 'n' should be either 2 or 3.
If that programming is not possible, maybe the
cut-off should be GA date of 1.6?
