Matt, I made a few changes, and rebuilt the archive. I did a quick check and this seems to be fixed now. I had noticed them in the past, but it was only an occasional message, so I didn't take the time. It has been increasing though, so time well spent. > >But Mike...

The backup doesn't have quite enough ram to reindex the entire archive, so the All years index is not up to date. I should probably remove that choice for now. I will soon be switching back to the main server, which can update all the indexes daily. Right now, only the yearly indexes are updated, and those not every day. Another reason you might not get any hits is if your search term is too common. If a word appears in too many messages, e.g. any word that appears in the footer, it is not included in the index, and will be ignored in your query.
