Searching the Web4Lib archive of almost 16,000 messages has become much
more effective literally overnight. Thanks to a programming tweak of
Hypermail by our programmer Nancy Lin, the Web4Lib messages in the archive
no longer have links to the previous and next messages. These links would
cause "false drops" by putting the subject line from two other messages in
each message. The presence of these subject lines would cause messages to
be retrieved that had nothing to do with the query, only links to messages
that did. As always, the Web4Lib archive is searchable and browseable
from:
