Re: [vox] modification to the archive

Excuse my ignorance of the archive's features, but is there no 
facility to search message content?  I think that would be more 
effective, mainly because most folks wouldn't bother to add useful 
keywords.

If we CAN already search by content, I would personally never bother 
trying to search keywords.
