This is a perfectly good method for finding stuff. I actually prefer
to download temporary copies of the archives and search them using
a good editor (in my case "vi"). So for example, I would normally download
a copy of the july archive using:
get tweeters tweeters.log9507
then use my local editor to do a global search. In "vi" the command
/[Cc]hickadee
will find the next occurence of either chickadee or Chickadee.
the command
/[Cc][Hh][Ii][Cc][Kk][Aa]
will find Chickadee, chickadee, CHICKADEE, CHICKADEES, ChiCKaDee, etc.
Then typing
N
will find the second occurence, another
N
will find the third, etc.etc.etc.
