I am frequently trying to find some old threads, and the se= arch functionality usually seems to be of
no help. As the bottom = of the archives page (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/) tells
it. It says that usi= ng a space in a query, by default, does the same as the AND operator (see
http://www.namazu.org/doc/manual.html#query). However, when tes= ting it, I have found that that is
not the case (also the and ope= rator does not work).

Wouldn't it be a good id= ea to add some info about how to use the search functionality?
